If this were a fairy tale
         you would be the Almost Prince
       and I would be the
      Tower;

  Valiantly, you would attempt
  to fight your way through
my maze of corridors
   and traps to
   rid me of the burden of
     my secrets,

    while I could only stand
    and watch, attempting not
     to crumble under the
    ferocity of your attack.

    Not because I wish to,
    but because I am just a Tower
    (and you are just a “Prince”)

and this is all
I know how to do.
