《Leslie's Poems》The Song for the Running Girl
Advertisement
The loneliest prince doesn't exist
The sweetest girl went sour long ago
And the happiest song fell away
Do you remember that tune?
A fair princess dressed in white
Her hair dark and flowing
Fell into the sea
Crying tears of joy.
She thought it was her time
But it was not.
And she fell deeper into the ocean.
Death should have come for her already
But it had not.
There was a gallant girl at the bottom of the sea
And the fair princess encountered her.
This girl took up a trident, aiming for the princess
"Perhaps now is my time,"
But it was not.
The girl lowered her weapon, sparing the princess.
The gallant girl asked for the fair princess to follow her.
And she did.
The gallant girl did not have legs like the princess for
She was a seamaiden with brunette hair, glassy blue eyes, and
The tail of a fish.
It was grey and dull, like the girl's life.
Once it had a silver shine
Brighter than the Artemisian moonlight.
But that changed when the girl lost her kin.
The gallant girl showed the fair princess a place that spewed out light.
"This place will take you somewhere far beyond here.
Please leave from here, for your face reminds me of a sadness I am well acquainted with,"
The gallant girl said.
The fair princess went into the light
And fell.
"Truly this shall be my demise,"
The princess whispered, her long hair above her eyes.
But it was not.
She was laying in soft, blue grass, and she looked up.
There was no sky, but a single point of light where the fair princess had Fallen from.
She looked ahead, seeing more grass.
Behind her was a tree with golden petals and glowing violet fruit.

“Perhaps it is poisonous,”
The fair princess grasped a low-hanging fruit
And bit into it.
It was sweet, but also tear-inducing.
The fair princess began to cry.
She remembered why she had thrown herself into the sea
And upon remembering this, she tore at the pale veil on her head.
She ripped the tiers in her white dress,
Scratched her face,
And cut her pearls off her neck.
While whimpering, someone appeared.
A young boy, just a child cloaked in red.
“Why do you cry, ma’am?”
He asked.
The fair princess did not answer and looked at the boy.
He wasn't just a boy, he was a prince.
He was the loneliest prince.
The lonely prince drew pictures with his breath, amazing the fair princess.
His loneliness was broken now, and he was actually Happy.
The fair princess too, had forgotten her Sadness.
She played with the prince as if she was a Little GIrl again.
She missed those days, playing with the servant’s kids.
But now, the fair princess suddenly noticed the blue grass was fading.
The world was falling.
She couldn't breathe in the salty water any longer and everything
Began to fade faster and faster.
Her head began to ache, and she awoke, her heart spilling onto the sand.
Everything was red and blue and blurry.
Her dress was stained with crimson and her long hair was sandied and
Lifeless, like her.
I don't remember the rest of the tune.
Perhaps, you remember it?
