Dedicated to my friend Zeina

once upon a time....
in a far away land....
there was a pretty, lovely girl who sold her heart to a very manipulative man.
He told her things she wanted to hear
he temporary relieved her of all her fears....
But when the time came,
to prove his worth.
No action was taken,
until despair gave birth.
For all she ever wanted
was to be loved in exchange,
to be treated like his queen,
to be his aim.

Alas,
this is but a tale of a lover's demise,
the consequences of loving full-hearted,
but with closed eyes.
