Too Good to be True

In a “magical” kingdom, too good to be true,
sits a sweet, pretty, delicate princess,
a heart so sweet and true.
She does not like this kingdom, a cynical sort.
It’s no place for a princess, with an impossibly sweet heart.

The princess discovers that for years, she is patient.
But the princess is curious, the knowledge emanates.   
This kingdom is so bland, as if it was trash.
She can only dream of a place so pretty and true. 

A kingdom truly magical and colorful, only found in dreams.
It comes with a sweet and tenderhearted king.     
The king has a delicate heart, just like the princess.
The king and the princess will be in this sweet kingdom.

Only, this is a dream.
She is still in a “magical” kingdom, too good to be true.
