Tales of enchanting forests and evil witches she'd been told
Darkness and gloom weighed so heavily she could touch
Her predicament she could liken to the foreboding tales of old
Depressed and somber, she couldn't get in touch with her inner torch
Lost in the unknown, her fear grew so she was overwhelmed with despair
She wished the nightmare would end, all she wanted was to wake from this state
Time and again, she opened her eyes to find she was still stuck deep in this quagmire
So far stretched, she had all her nerves in a grate
But soon enough she saw a glint of light penetrate the darkness
Hope swelled her heart till it bursted with expectation
The light appeared again and this time, started to dispel the darkness
Joyed to her very core, she reached out to the light with earnest anticipation
Suddenly the gloom lifted and all the evil around her vanished
And in front of her appeared her magnificent knight come to save her from the horrific night
He swept her off her feet and brought her into bliss, leaving her astonished
It was all she could do to desire spending all her nights with her loving knight
