My Princess

By Joseph Catapusan

You’re my princess in distress
I am a knight in a warrior’s dress.
I’ll save you from the dragon’s peril
With a heart of immortal zeal.

You are a flower in the garden of weed,
I am the butterfly; you’re the one I need.
Every spring morning you’re the one I hold
And when the winter night gets cold.

I am like Romeo, whose love is true,
But you are like Juliet, you leave me blue.
Despite everything that happened to us,
I still love you, against all the odds.
