She was just some wild thing
Wandering always, but never searching
Free of care with a hungry gleam in her eyes
She ran and frolicked through the ocean tides.
Sun up, sun down the earth was hers to roam
Content with where she was, the adventure was her home.
It wasn’t until that last dooming trek
To travel for something she hadn’t yet met
What she found was something she could have never foreseen,
What she turned into no one would have ever believed.
She fell hard and fast for such a traveled girl,
Stubborn she was, as they watched it unfurl
She wouldn’t stop to look back, for she never had
And too late she found he wasn’t a prince, but a cad.
Gone was the gleam from her eyes that shone,
Forced into darkness and forever alone
The thief in the night who stole her heart
Never again on adventure would she embark.
