Now you see me...
Now you see me, now you don't,
Here and gone with ne'er a sound,
Wrapped in lace and elegant coat,
As my body hits the ground.
Now you see me, now you don't,
In tower dark a princess fair,
The prince some think my only hope,
Will do his best to keep me there.
Now you see me, now you don't,
Behind my angel-wrought stained glass,
To show the world the life I wrote,
I never fully had the chance.
Now you see me, now you don't,
In this spider web of lace,
Escape these gilded bars I won't,
This lovely cage, a woman's place.
Now you don't.
Now you see me, now you don't,

The prince some think my only hope,
Will do his best to keep me there.

Escape these gilded bars I won't,
This lovely cage, a woman's place.

Just a little something I had to write for English class. It had to be based off of a short story called, "Story of an Hour," which is about a woman in the 1890s who feels trapped in her role as a housewife. She dies at the end. ^ ^; Not the best thing I've ever written, but hey.

I think though, if you gave it a set meter, it'd flow a lot better. :3
