• As she left the ball,

    her glass slipper

    she could not retrieve.

    Out of love,she did not

    want her beloved to see

    what was beyond the magic.

    She left her slipper behind.

    She left it behind,along with

    her love.

    Her love is powerful.

    Like a call to adventure,

    her love calls the prince

    and he realises his destiney

    is with her.

    Her heart races.

    Tattered rags are her gown

    and a pumpkin is her carriage.

    Had it all been pretend?

    Maybe a lingering dream?

    She does not know.

    She does not undertsand.

    She glances at her feet...

    At the one slipper remaining.

    Her only hope.

    Her feelings were put into

    the magic slipper as she

    made her getaway,

    It's driving the prince mad.

    Scouring the country to find

    the one he loves.

    They wait...

    longing to see each other again.

    They die a little inside

    knowing the failure of

    another day without

    their beloved by their side.

    Will they ever be reunited?
