Snow White

The sky is dark as I lay in bed

There are memories dancing in my head

Out side there is a streak of red

It's an apple!

I sneak silently through the dark

The shadows loomed like hungry sharks

There is a dent in the tree bark

The apple fell here.

I pick up the tiny sphere

Down my cheek runs a single tear

My heart was thundering with palpable fear

Bite the apple", the voice fills my ear

I bite the apple

Swirling and sliding, the hungry sharks take me

The loneliness pours inside of me

I feel as dead as a leaf of tea

The apple is poison.

The woman with a face of green

Sweeps me away laughing like a wicked queen

Her smile was big with preen

There was no one around to witness this scary scene

She cursed the apple.

Now here I am to stay until that one day

When my prince comes to the dragon, of whom he will slay

He will enter the chamber where I lay

The apple's curse will be broken.
