A Story In Rhyme

Intro:    
My life crumbles around me.  My dreams turn to dust.
Everything I've known for eternity.  My hopes blown away in a gust.
What matters to me, doesn't to you.  The memories preserved, eternally fade to blue.
Anger, hatred, and loathing of self.  Love, a hug, a smile? no wealth.
I dream about what may come to pass....  I hide my face- burrow into the grass....

******In a forest of darkness where a princess awaits,
The lord of the marked ones-who's names he graciously takes.
Enchanted by fury and drowning in fate.  Scorned from every angle, building her hate.
No one knows the path she that she walks.  Quietly behind her a hollow man stalks.
He perches himself deep in the shadows of hell, Where his stench, he thinks, the fair maiden won't smell.
Unknowing and innocent, the young girl approaches.  ~into the shadows~scurrying roaches~
Decay and disgusting filth litter the ground.  The lovely maiden knows someone's around.
She cowers down into a nook and waits to see the passing crook.
The thief knows not that she has hidden, searching for her, his thoughts are forbidden.
The lurking stalker sniffs out his prey...  and the lonely girl has lost her way.
It all crashes down, without a doubt, and the princess knows not what it is about.
A rauckus noise catches her ear, neck hairs raise... she stumbles with fear.
This cruel dark master has come to claim her!  Running she goes, and he goes swiftly after.
Excitement tingling her stomach and mind. A frightened young maiden will this sinister villain find?
And if he does, what does it mean??  She wakes up relieved, it was only a dream.
