Shalott

I am the Lady of Shalott.
I was content in my tower, observing the world and reveling in it from afar, just bright reflections in a mirror.
It was a prince, ironically, who ended me.  I caught a glimpse of his face, and as he passed beyond the frame of the mirror, I could not help myself.  I turned, I pressed my nose against the windowpane and watched him pass.  He never looked my way.
That was when it ended.
