The Queen Is Alive But the King Is Dead

At the time I thought I was in love 
At the time I thought there was no one who could come above 
What we had all those days we spent 
All those days when I thought I had meant 
The world to him as he did to me 
How I assumed it was meant to be 
Please excuse me to act so corny 
But I had honestly thought this to be destiny
When we first met, it was as though I was in a dream 
Our love fell so freely like a rivers stream 
Our bodies fit together like a puzzles piece 
Despite all now life has forsaken me, in this believable fleece 
Because what I saw was to my despair 
The love I saw crashing, that was no longer there 
I walked in to see him with her how he was to me 
That was when my mind lost its denial and I now believed
That it was well and truly over, the life we once shared 
To see the true eyes of the man who I thought once cared 
 He thought he could hide it and show another side of him that wasn’t even there 
He thought he could disguise his face and assumed I would remain unaware 
He thought he could speak only lies and I would hear the truth 
He thought I was naïve enough to assume he would not go for someone in her youth 
Though in spite of his foolish ways and obvious change 
In the past I had hoped it was just him attempting to feel young again 
But as I said before my mind was in denial, for whom so young could love so old 
For whom so young, could be as dim whitened and act so bold 
For whom so young, could have no sense 
To think that he well and justly loved her, to ignore all consequence
The Neanderthal himself did not even think to secrete all the clues 
He left them out in the open, as though his mind had turned blue 
His selfish act I could see, lead no despair 
Lead no remorse or negative energy in his air 
He concerned himself with that one organ that directed itself to another phony pair 
I wondered endlessly what went on and confused his smallish brain 
How it could not even comprehend thy pain 
That pain I felt he had caused 
That pain that made my heart stop and pause 
For only but a second it lost its beat 
That thus caused the blood in my veins to grow and pound with heat 
As my anger could not defeat 
My broken heart that came upon its pause 
As I ran my thoughts over his disappointing clause 
He followed the idea of feeding his egotistic greed
He followed the desire of his selfish needs 
He did not think of how I would react 
He did not think that I had thus remained faithful within our pact 
But now, my mind has cleared and to this matter here I stand and say….. three cheers for the one who got away 
Three cheers for the bimbo who took his mind and led it astray
Three cheers for the life he will now share and develop with her 
Three cheers for the pretentious body, behind my back he has frequently conquered 
Three cheers to the unrealistic mind set I see they will share together as one 
Three cheers to the superficial ways she will convince him to be fun   
Three cheers for the lies he has whispered and will forever whisper to her deafened ears  
And three cheers for thy saddened fallen tears  
For I now ponder over my revenge, over what he and she have said
As I come to the conclusion that within this once happy kingdom the queen is alive but the king is dead
