Ash Black
Hair as black as night
so it blends in woth the smoke of her home villiage
Skin as white as snow
reflecting the moonlight like a mirror
Lips as red as blood
er-
red with blood
Running in the forest
Where she held her midnight meetings with the darkness
Mother shaking in fear
sitting in front of her mirror and chanting in prayer
Mirror, mirror,
on the wall
Will ever Ash Black
Come to call?
calling the Huntsman
sent into the woods
slaughtered in the dead of night
A warrior on the way
a sword in hand
never stood a chance in that grim place
she found one more
a desprate attempt at saving her kingdom
bring the heart, she said
I will do as you say, he said
Into the night he rides
unsuspecting of the horrors until
snap
his horse abandons him in the dark
glinting teeth
a flash of white
lips covering his
life sucked out until nothing
but a glass shell remained
cotteges infiltrated, brought down, fled
princes tricked, mauled, destroyed
taking care of it herself
for the good of her people
the apple poised, and poisoned
one bite
deep sleep
and a foolish rider
brought to life again
the pain and suffering of the nation
