Fallen Queen

I paused To build my castle A fortress With a moat Pretend I could hideaway Savour in the solitude Where I could queen Independently Out of harms way Casting off all feelings Let happiness Reign over me selfishly But that draw bridge Couldn’t just stay closed It welcomed you Stupidly forgetting protocol I wanted to burn it slow Instead I set it all on fire Water filled with gasoline Caught aflame trapping me No one here to save me Since I locked myself away Alone, but strategically Now I’m shoveling ashes into graves Back to building my monsters The enemies that eventually turn on me I piece them together so perfectly Forcing them to revolt against me Those years spent rehabbing my heart I thought they’d heal me That didn’t seem to stick Now I need to find me again
