You left me broken and bruised,
black and blue;
And you expected your absence
To destroy what was left of me
And reduce me to a pile of darkened ashes.
But it was only after you left
That I was finally able to breathe.
And after I had untangled all of your lies
Out of my curls,
That I realized
That I was never the princess
You’d claimed you’d rescued.
Instead I was the dragon
you’d chained up.
