Dark Vs Light a Nursery Rhyme

A sadness was engulfing eating away at her 
Things have changed pleas now all unheard
The faith others had held is slowly dwindling 
Her pull on the collective, another is swindling 
The darkness wants to evict her once more 
The few she had allowed now ask what for 
Had she lost her touch to ever again mislead 
Would she pay a cost for her evil misdeed
Her blackness now jealousy turned green 
No longer in darkness did she hold title of queen 
The hatred within her festered a deep angry red 
The very sanity she once had now had laid dead 
Could she ever come back from this abyss
Would her lil monsters never again miss 
Told once when it came to this bitter fight 
Darkness would lose out to the brighter light 
Once cackled at this fleeting thought  
All her plans began to unravel for naught 
So long she had plotted lights very doom
Played others a bit too close and a bit too soon
All left for her was the damsel in distress 
Was it too late to deploy, she couldn’t confess 
Darkness fault light held not an ounce of blame 
She wanted that the light to be put to some shame 
She cried Wolf again, alas none would notice
She’d have to portray herself as evil poetess
Was clear her mindstate wasn’t framed right 
Left her with only to at last slink into the night

Ah, your deep dark pen spills with mesmerizing ink and great rhymes, my dear sissy. Such a dramatic and creative piece. I especially loved this gem; "Her blackness now jealousy turned green" - a wickedly beautiful verse that stands out among all the outstanding lines in this Dark vs Light fight.. Your talent never ceases to amaze me, my insane twinny. Lotsa love and hugs.. the Sane one
