Cinderella in Combat Boots

She sits in ashes

Too entranced with green gases

Puffin plentiful clouds down through the chimney of her nose

Up in the clouds, the ground too far down below

To notice the trail of ashes left, as she tries to pass it

But wait

Oh

There's no place for it to go

So she blows more O's

Up and up she goes

Till she's blown off her ***

Enjoying the ride as her mind bends back

Time

It rewinds past her present loneliness

Finding the blurred memory of sweet forehead kisses

Back when her wishes actually did come true

Before reality had her falling so hard, she lost a shoe

It was never found

The prince never tried to

So now green cinders ash down on combat boots
