I’m in the highest tower picking petals off of flowers. Listening to the sound of silence, this is what I do for hours. It never was about the extremities of youth which everyone had. I lay on the bed. I keep account of the boys I yearned for but I never had. Like a princess in the highest tower I spent my best years. An endless pandemic it is. I do dust angels, dust angels. I’m a ******. I’m a harlot. I’m God’s favorite. A dragonslayer’s love interest. But in this tower I’ve no choice but to stay. My prince must’ve died on his way.
