Queen Of Hearts - Chapter 1

Fade

Like the stars at dawn

Cower from the light

Contrasting skies are far more flattering

Shadow of a figure

Ethereal beauty

A ghost of a lover

Essence of a memory

You're a dreamy phantom

Deceiving youthful knights

Into a lake of souls

Your silvery scales reign

Like clouds of a dreary day

Autumn's wind will shake the trees

A blanket of leaves and snow

Your kingdom has turned to ice

Caricature of happiness

Your illusory features

So similar to creatures

That formerly, you gasped at

Now they're your kith and kin

You're a cold queen of hearts

But your army is strong

And you're not letting down

Let them sleep with demons

Of trivial battles

They had all died in vain

Goddess of Discordance

You would attend a masquerade

The only one without a mask

Your horror could fool anyone

Into thinking it is a lie

While they're hoping for the best

They're drowning in aspirations

And they air they used to breathe

Is poisoned to a fatal state

And they are gasping with poise

But you're pulling all the strings

And would you smile and blush

If they chanced to look your way

You are a majestic crone

But your empire is falling

Into the dust of sea beds

Where they rest in icy lakes
