Mirror

EEeeeeeeeeeeeek!

A princess screams as the nemesis grabs her by the wrist and drags her to his lair.
The princess with beauty so mesmerizing, so calming now in rags and tears.
Her tormented soul brings a sharp pain through my heart as I watch.
Prompted by the agony that unfolds before my very eyes; with my polished armor I reach for my trusty shield and double edged sword, to her rescue, I came running.

I ran til my heart almost gave way; when I got closer, a familiar face caught me off guard!
I looked, I stared, I stood in disbelief

the monster, moves as I moved
he spoke the same words, as I utter them
he breathes, as I inhale...

I looked closer....

the sword in my hand...were the princess's wounded wrist
my shining armor... were scales on my skin
my arm... claws with skin tearing sharpness....

I'm not the knight in shining armor that I thought I was...

I'm the anguish causing monster...
