Lady Trista
I used to be just like Cinderella
 I had my very own Charming fella;
 But now, I am just a damsel in distress
 Since when was my fairytale playing in reverse?
 
 Aren’t his eyes simply mesmerizing?
 And his teeth pearly white?
 How could I let myself lose him
 Without the luxury of a fight?
 
 My white horse was named Valentine 
 Named for the day he was given to me
 But now, I have no true Valentine
 I guess I had set them both free
 
 You should have seen the gown I wore 
 On the morn of our wedding day;
 Lustrous diamonds, softest silk, but now it lies
 Burnt to ashes, atop a bale of hay
 
 How could I fall for such a scoundrel?
 Mother taught me better than that
 All good girls like bad boys
 Why did I ignore the warnings that it was a trap?
 
 How could he give up on me so easily?
 Well, I’d be exaggerating to say I’m divine, but
 Known to all around, I was the envy of the town
 Even before he become mine
 
 Now my crown is just an artifact,
 And our love is just a myth
 How could I let my heart be so fragile?
 All I can think about is the lack of a goodbye kiss
 
 I used to take every step in glass slippers,
 But princesses, beware my past
 I let myself become smitten
 And now, I walk on broken glass
