Array ( [sid] => 108216 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Slept Beauty. [time] => 2005-10-21 22:51:10 [hometext] => This is my own twist on sleeping beauty, I was mad at her [bodytext] => Slept Beauty.

Imagine if sleeping beauty awoke
Before the prince had come to kiss
Her, red as blossom,
Stone cold lips

To awake to see the damage done
By one pricked finger
On a wheel hidden behind so many doors
She should have thought never to seek

To blame herself for the invading
Black thorns that crept up castle walls
To blame herself for comatose servants
To be to blame for stopping time and fate

And all alone she would have wallowed
In self pity shame despair
Until along came her prince fair
And when upon noble steed he did arrive

How would beauty have greeted this intrusion?
How would he react to her despondent figure?
Alone for so long in ashamed regret
Would she want the world to know she’d ruined castle strong?

That much time alone
With clocks stopped and minutes void
Would start to play with murderous thoughts
Of hate and tortured souls

Upon that fair princes belt a dagger would be glinting
Would she take the easy way?
A princess spoiled and now rotten
Would aim to make her sins forgotten

With a royal sash of pain
And a century alone
The slicing of the prince’s throat
Would have just added to ample sins

The slicing of her own pretty wrists
Would have felt more joyous then pain
And as the first clock did chime
Her reflection breathed a sigh of relief



Her punishment administered
The truth dead to these awake
Who mourn the petty princess?
And scorn the evil murderous prince?

Who crept in and killed his lady
Upon her coma bed
And then in shame of pure innocence
Did away with his own neck

So the people would have thought
In ignorant glee
At this sordid saga
And the martyr bred under fingers cold

Thank god that beauty did not wake
Till all the shame was undone
And we have moral fairy tale
For the little ones

Slept Beauty.

Imagine if sleeping beauty awoke
Before the prince had come to kiss
Her, red as blossom,
Stone cold lips

To awake to see the damage done
By one pricked finger
On a wheel hidden behind so many doors
She should have thought never to seek

To blame herself for the invading
Black thorns that crept up castle walls
To blame herself for comatose servants
To be to blame for stopping time and fate

And all alone she would have wallowed
In self pity shame despair
Until along came her prince fair
And when upon noble steed he did arrive

How would beauty have greeted this intrusion?
How would he react to her despondent figure?
Alone for so long in ashamed regret
Would she want the world to know she’d ruined castle strong?

That much time alone
With clocks stopped and minutes void
Would start to play with murderous thoughts
Of hate and tortured souls

Upon that fair princes belt a dagger would be glinting
Would she take the easy way?
A princess spoiled and now rotten
Would aim to make her sins forgotten

With a royal sash of pain
And a century alone
The slicing of the prince’s throat
Would have just added to ample sins

The slicing of her own pretty wrists
Would have felt more joyous then pain
And as the first clock did chime
Her reflection breathed a sigh of relief



Her punishment administered
The truth dead to these awake
Who mourn the petty princess?
And scorn the evil murderous prince?

Who crept in and killed his lady
Upon her coma bed
And then in shame of pure innocence
Did away with his own neck

So the people would have thought
In ignorant glee

And the martyr bred under fingers cold

Thank god that beauty did not wake
Till all the shame was undone
And we have moral fairy tale
For the little ones
