Stockholm Princess
A beautiful princess,
an evil captor,
a dark, twisted love
based on a villain's routine capture
and a sickness that defines it,
stockholm syndrome
All day long,
the princess sits in her tower,
waits for her kidnapper,
he comes on his horse swiftly in the night,
she always knocks over her dresser, tips over the lamp,
to make it look like she put up a good fight
He takes her to his dungeon
orders her to strip naked
ties her up, puts her in chains,
and then the fun begins
Totally in love with her captor,
the torturer, the rapist,
the power-hungry sadomasochist
gets pleasure from her pain,
doesn't care how much he hurts her
she knows he's bad, but he's perfectly good at it
girl's sick in the head and she knows it
most relationships are based on love and trust,
theirs is based on kidnapping, torture, and lust
Diamonds and pearls
might be good for those other girls,
but not this girl, this royal harlot
whips and chains excite her
Once they've had their fun,
a prince comes to rescue the fair maiden,
he defeats the villain,
takes the girl back home to her family
she goes to her room, takes a shower,
straightens her hair, puts on her makeup,
sits at the window, in the tall tower
and the cycle starts all over again
doesn't want to cure her sickness,
her Stockholm syndrome
