**Dedicated to my soul sister**
Words he never said swim in my mind
I'm sorry for hurting you
I'm sorry for not valuing you
I'm sorry for not appreciating you
How could I have been so blind.
One day we were getting married
One day we would have children
A future defined.
Only for my dreams die
Only for my hopes to demise
He won't ever know the feeling of those words
He won't ever know the feeling of a shattered heart
Those werent ever his concerns
My pain is his art
A wedding ripped away
No longer by the italian sea
A gown not being worn today
No rings for oui.
Wasted time
Wasted designs
Wasted tanzanite
Wasted kyanite
But now I am in a new era.
I know my worth.
I will blaze across the Sahara
I am meant for more than this earth.
A Princess who defines her own future
A Queen who has more than one suitor.
An Empress who takes one step, and does not look behind
