wanting to be owned,
but not by someone
who could afford her
but by someone
who deserved her.

but doesn't scare.

He was the chapter with the
"Happily Ever After ".

She mastered the skill of lying to his eyes,
Words chosen carefully, every answer improvised.

Curtained feelings and fake smiles,
Her laugher was her tears in disguise.

But why did she do this, why hide her pain?
Because, dear, every time she expressed it, he let it go in vain.
