Rumplestiltskin
March 4, 2016
Watch! They bleed and burn!
Hark! The Dark One wields power!
Words cannot escape.
Words cannot describe,
This madness will never hide,
If I bleed, will you?
If she fled, would you?
Would you continue onward?
Never looking back.
Please never look back!
The fear will paralyze you,
And lock you away.
It might lock your heart,
And drown you in great pain,
Can you take it all?
Can you take what's given?
Or will your spirit shatter,
Underneath dead dreams?
Your dreams have all gone,
The time has come for payment,
A price best unpaid.
