Red Queen's Lullaby

716 22 1
                                    

In blood does my heart lay, covered in the sweet nectar I cherish.

Its red color fuels my anger, obliterates my sanity, and fills me with hunger.

My kingdom fears me, I have killed the king.

His head lies in the gallows; he never loved me.

He wanted power over me. So with a simple, "Off with his head!" I was relieved of his presence.

Oh, lucky me!

I sit on my balcony looking at this fallen kingdom and just laugh, laugh until I can't anymore.

The light slowly fades from my eye lids as I tumble down into the castle moat.

All that is left of me is my shattered crown that has been overgrown by roots.

Thorns engulf my kingdom, and is forever lost.
