I thought
I knew love
Once upon
A time
A tall man
With dusty boots
And twang
Made of honey

He put
A crown
Upon my head
Dubbed me
Princess
In his mind
He took
Me into
His bed
Just for
A little time

Life turned
The tiara
Slipped
His shoulders
Slumped
And vinegar
Dripped off
His tongue

The only
Thing
That lasted
Were his
Dusty boots
