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
