Queen's Fallacy

I have locked myself away, behind walls For love hurt me, and I cannot stand tall In between the lies I have heard, and with The stories I have read, it is no myth That nobody cares about my stones built It is not their job to penetrate guilt And save me from myself, so why do care If my hysteria affects them ne’er So they do not care, and my walls strengthen They leave me alone, and my walls lengthen Until they encompass a heart’s city But only one is inside, with pity I break down and cry, weeping inside realm Of where I was the queen, command at helm Of a city of love, my crown is here Used to mean power, but now is just a dear Trinket of life passed, and just one weird thing Remains, I still wait here for a new king. I have locked myself away, behind walls For love hurt me, and I cannot stand tall
