The orc gazes at her
Under the moon’s bright blue light
Her eyes glow with pure adoration
But not for him
Never for him
Beside her sits the prince
He’s cold, distant
He hears, but never listens
He kisses, when she initiates
He holds her hand, because it’s there
Stays with her, because it’s expected
She devotes herself entirely to him,
Believing, if she just tries harder,
He’ll love her as she loves him.
But she deserves more.
The orc knows it.
The prince doesn’t.
The orc wishes it were different
That he could kiss her, because he loves her
Hold her hand, so she knows she’s cherished
Be with her, because they belong
Devote his attention to her, so she knows she’s enough
Bake for her, when she craves sweets
Fight for her, when things get tough
Smile with her, to double her joy
Write for her, sing for her,
because she deserves more
But she’s a human
and he’s an orc.
Love does not belong to his kind.
He will only ever be a monster, not a husband
Orcs don’t get happy endings
So he turns away and disappears again
Leaving her to a love that will never be enough
But at least, is hers
Poem was inspired by a lot of stuff but mainly this one film, I think it's obvious which one, lol
