Fallen Monarch

Tired--tired from acting
Playing the role in this charade
Fanciful- the hope
calloused the facade--
Only hope could sabotage--
The truth from
freeing the mirage --

Yet steadfast it holds
Not truth --but rather
An empty visage
A portrait contained
To still the shadows
Seeping through the veins --

Broader sholders, standing strong--
Intimidation still would break
Trading truth for the dawn
The endless supper that never eats--
The broken promises that yesterday repeats
And to escape--will leave you
shivering in the cold
Signaled out- -afraid, alone--
In deep waters of clarity
you slowly turn to stone--

The belonging you traded
To liove in a cage--
immortal the regret
you passed with age
And now you cant 4get
A constant reminder
It comes in with the crowd
To satiate your tired longing-
And in your fear -- proud--
You have no-one to blame--
You new the consequences
When you strted the game--
Even if in ur ignorance
We allow a pause a hicup--
Another chance experience
Ur bath, your first romance--
too late
U tossed dwn the ax
And the battle too soon
You surrendered and lost--

Easier, my friend
To play on the road-- a dead end
Safe in your shoebox castle
And the moat you self made-
Trader to the country--
As queen you betrayed your soul--
And all 4 what-?
To test --to taste-
The sugar of the beast ---
And to condemn it’s presence
By setting its time--
Control, my dear monarch-
Was your true defeat--
There ’s just some horns
That wont retreat--

Don’t you know--can’t you see
(How blind you had become)
You had already lost
Way be4 the thought occurred
That you could have won--
You were different--
A solid mascot in the winding trade--
Ironic this temptress--
The same ---
That first made you afraid
The same that feeds ur desire
That you act for and aginst
with both your passion and ur rage-
