*~1000 Faces~*

From her balcony she could see them all:
One thousand choices gathered before her,
But none of them had the power to make her fall
Because she did not wish to do so any longer.

There were those who pitied their Princess
Who insisted sincerely that all was well.
There were those who believed she was hopeless
But in the end no one could really tell.

Within the crowd of one thousand faces,
She won't look too closely in case he is there.
She would remember how her heart races
If she saw him again ~a dream so rare.

Five days go by as she forces herself to see without seeing.
She reassures her people that a good change is happening.
