The Dragon and the Princess
You are the dragon,
and i the princess of light
i look at You kindly,
but others look in fright
they bind You up
with chains and more,
and they shut You up
behind a cold metal door
they hurt You and beat You,
and they tear down Your heart
i just wish they would stop
before they even start
they tear at Your wings,
and You beg and You cry
they try to take away
Your ability to fly
my heat sinks at the sight,
and my own tears flow
i beg of them everyday
to just let You go
i am a princess,
so my words have no effect
but when I see something wrong,
i know i must object
You are a beautiful being
You had done no harm
You are so majestic,
full of such charm
so freed You i did,
and i hold no regrets
You are free now, Dear
no longer must You fret
You are the dragon,
and i the princess of light
i am Your ticket,
Your key back into sight
so spread Your wings,
and fly into that high blue sea
i love You with all my heart
and that’s why i set You free

This one came to me when my friend was hitting a low point, and she was just going through so much. We have a running joke where she's a dragon and I'm a unicorn (which kinda hence the line 'You are the dragon, and i the princess of light') and I just felt the need to write this. We have plans in the future, and I feel like I'm the one who can make her happy, who can send her flying into the future she deserves.
