Precarious

He’s a prince of broken hearts,

A connoisseur of shattered dreams.

His charm and royal stature

Conceal a devil underneath.

She’s a princess forged from venom,

A connoisseur in vengeful art.

The fates, they dealt a deadly hand

As they gave this prince her heart.

Their dance is one of caution,

For glass slippers crack and shatter.

And the reprisal behind her eyes promises

Broken hearts end in disaster.

So on they twirl in rhythm,

For this prince has met his match

In this vixen steeped in vengeance,

This Cinderella dressed in black.
