Kingdom
This was never going to be a fairy tale,
There is not going to be happily ever after.
The moment that she thought about the veil,
Her tears drowned out all of her laughter.
His armor was frail, rusted and falling apart.
The sword was broken in two and bent.
He knew the motto and recited it by heart.
The truth is that his heart had already been spent.
Her crown was missing, her innocence tore.
She could not hide the pain in her eyes.
All around her, her banners and colors swirled.
Her thoughts could not be silenced by the lullaby.
She wanted the fairy tale and needed it to heal.
It was not meant to be, they could never agree.
Forever at his feet she was meant to kneel.
Her fears kept her from ever becoming free.
He tried to rule the kingdom but forgot about his queen.
Locked up in a tower, her shackles cut her ankles and wrist.
So much confusion she wanted to beat her chest and scream.
Those that knew her, her pain, her doubts, were dismissed
The kingdom was broken and torn from now to hereafter,
There will never be any peace to silence the screaming.
The King wrote and closed the book on the last chapter,
And the queen for her Kingdom will always be grieving.
