darlings need your saving

i look out the window at the violet sky like a lonely princess,
a fucked up damsel in distress flattened to her shiny curls 
& large eyes & prettily bitten-red mouth perfect for begging
please, kind sir, save me! take me far away from this wretched
place! & she never knows her worth because you are only worth
something if you feel worthless when you are alone, when the knight
in shining armour hasn’t ridden for miles to save you. darling,
you need to be saved so badly, don’t you?
