from owned to dethroned you led me from queen to unseen you hid me once crowned to now bound you kept me absorbed to derobed you left me a spectacle to be gawked at you jeered me from diamond to dust you threw me once devoid of lust you spurned me and yet, here I am naked bleeding dishonored unwanted here I stand here I smile biding my time a while knowing as I do the inner splendor shines through I bathe my naked body perfume every curve comb out my raven hair for I dare This is swear: None can usurp my throne It's mine and mine alone I climb the stairs and they all stare yes, they stare so aware the Queen has returned your history’s been burned I'm here more beautiful than before radiance galore I see you with flames of desire once more in your eyes you...watch me.....R^I^S^E my glory emanates through every idol set up by you adoration's MY due It is true: discarded to lauded I taunt you demeaned to re-queened I rule you I reign, I disdain don't be vain your plea to return I will burn spurn I'll watch you yearn you can't take me back I know what you lack a heart and a soul I won’t make you whole Knighted to blighted I see you And so…. adored to abhorred I leave you Eileen Manassian Ghali
