The Fairest of Them All

Your lips are forever stained with the color of blood

The same color exempted from your mother's skin

As she was stabbed in the back by the man she so loved

Your hair is forever stained with the color of ebony

The same color that enveloped your father

As he took away the life of the woman who birthed you

As he heard that new voice in his ear that told him so sweetly,

“We can be together if you do this”

And your skin is forever stained with the color of snow

The same color of your new mother’s dress

As she stood on the altar marrying your father

The same man whose hands are forever covered in the color of your lips

Your new mother is beautiful in face and in body but you are beautiful in heart and soul

She looks everything the Queen she just became, but her soul is nothing but evil

There’s a villain in reign

 

Despite all the hate that she throws at you

True love presents itself in the man that is everything you ever wanted

But he’s also a huntsman,

Sent on a mission to end your life by the woman who wants to be the fairest in the land

Although it’s true he loves you so,

He also loves the gold in his pocket given to him by the evil queen

You really are your mother’s daughter

You’re waltzing down the same path of being murdered by a lover

 

But you stand with pride and say straight to his face

I am the princess and if you do this to me, you’ll never get to marry a queen

He puts down his knife and gets dreams of gold galore

As a king made through marriage he’d get so much more

You paired up together to take out the queen and once the evil was slain the King could now see

His princess Snow White was crowned as the fairest queen of them all

The huntsman thrown in jail forever covered in a traitor’s pall

 

Your lips as red as blood

Your hair as black as ebony

Your skin as white as snow

But beauty is never skin deep for true beauty lies below
