This is the first thing I've ever written, and I'm quite nervous about putting it up so soon, but hey, if we didn't take risks and make complete prats out of ourselves, life would be just dull It would be very much appreciated if anyone would RR, thankyous.

In My Undeveloped Heart

I know she's there, she sleeps so soundly… perfect. Her honey coloured hair honouring the pillows by splaying itself out across their surface, radiating subtle serenity. Her skin soft… smooth… flawless. She in herself, is pure, good and untainted. The object of my affections. My one. My only.

I know too that he sleeps, the one who rivals her in perfection, the prince charming to my fair princess. Who has the courage to save her from the tower? The calm, collected and handsome prince? Or I? The orange eyed cat, the green eyed monster. Yes! I envy him! I know that he too dreams of her, and will win her unless I hurry. Dammit! I'm special too! You get everything! Why not leave me this? The one thing I want most in the world. But, what's the point? I know she will reject me… deny my love.

I don't know who she dreams of. Who makes her smile like that as she rests? But I do know that in my waking hours she will continue to protect me. She will hide me from the monsters I so fear… my past… my present… my future. They search for me, unrelenting, their incandescent eyes rove the landscape. Maybe the Princess isn't the one who needs rescuing.

Perhaps someday, I will tell her. The flower sleeping in my undeveloped heart will open, and grace this putrid planet with its beauty. Someday the hatchling of my soul will spread its wings and take flight, taste sweet freedom. But not yet… not yet.
