I was a bird flying through the sky
and she was a one in a million princess
Every night i flew to the window of her castle
to help her count herself to sleep.

But the days they began to get darker much quicker
and the cold she appeared like a ghost
So by the time i had flown to my princess’s window
it had been closed from my view.

I know that i could of given up on her
and found myself another window to fly to
But i knew the darkness and lady cold wouldn’t last forever
so i flew to my princess even though i couldn’t see her.

Storms came, snow came, the sun fought them both
i awoke thinking only of my princess and flew to her
As i got closer to her window it seemed different somehow
i flew inside to find my princess wasn’t there.

The next night and the day after i came to the window
but still there wasn’t any sight of my princess
So i built a nest next to her window
and fell asleep thinking of her.

Days, months even years past by
but still there was never any sign of my princess
I realised she was not going to be coming back to me
so i went back to flying alone in the sky.

very creative and enjoyable but a little sad
as is life though sometimes

Sad, yes but a lot more happier than most of my poems.
