Calligraphy

In a wild, frantic fairytale Could you name a character Whose heart had failed her In ways that mine has? With a bitter flame inside my chest, I pledge I'll never try again. I plea with grace and decency With every attempt to flee the scene. With every attempt to leap into flight. To let down my white flag, Stay in and fight.
