Queenly Insanity

Thrown to the wolves

left to fend

for self

for child

thought to die

laughed as snow began to fall

revenge sought

retribution done

requital I swore

even as I fell to my knees.

I crawled.

I wept.

I thought to freeze to death.

No…..

I would not let you win.

I would not let you crown

another in my place

in my space

she…..

two faced whore.

I strove

pulling self to feet

courage

rage

kept me moving

as thunder roared

heart beating.

Resilient I am

always have been

it would behoove you

to remember.

For come I will

in dead of night

pay the toll dear

will you and she

while I sit above

watching you bleed.

Expunged Love

Eyes

bruised grey

hair lank

dead

detached

when…..

who….. 

what….. 

is coming for me?

Nowhere to run.

I wait.

Heartbeat count

fevered brow to pane

it has been ordained

they will collect me.

I care not.

Frost.

Black heart

wreathed

iced

encased

fingers etched glacier blue

cold.

Throw the bitch a bone

I heard your guttural voice

Nothing more

Nothing less

She deserves…..

I forgot your twisted side.

I forgot your hate.

I forgot just what it meant to be

the one who jilted the King.
