My Fairytale

Underneath this veil of darkness I lie
Unable to stir myself from my stupor
I remain for hours upon hours
Never moving, ever dreaming
Of white knights riding huge black stallions
Adorned with long flowing manes
Of tall cylindrical towers with turrets
Imprisoned girls with long golden hair
Of fairies that flit between the soft clouds
Granting wishes to lonely children
Yet nightmares invade my mind
Forcing their way into my happiness
Crushing it until it ceases
Of monsters living within the depths of the
World unknown to mankind
Creatures feasting on the galloping horses
Of the courageous knights
Beasts lurking in the moats around
Towers that imprison the terrified maidens
Of traps and snares that capture the fairies
Slowly crushing their small fragile bodies
As I lie shrouded under this eternal gloom
Forever losing hope of being saved
By my handsome prince charming
I lose all consciousness
As my mind slips away
