I was born in the house of light Devoid of colours, The walls screamed white. At the centre, was a chandelier And followed it, a small enclosure Where my parents used to fight. A dog was assigned to me very early But as I grew, it started to wither. It seemed like, I was fate's attorney And yet I was treated just like a Figure. I was to gatekeep a shrine of God And yet I always questioned him. Because the world I was representing Sometimes, made me think less of him. Whenever I came back from the shrine My house was the same as old I could never have a husband nor a kid That's what the pact and the Hiero told. Therefore I usually cried alone Always wanting a Home, Always wanting a Home. Once i had to choose Between honour and truth I never cared for the former But I had to answer, that the kingdom would suit. And hence I chose wrong These intricacies of politics Was never my strong A wrong step brought me here, where fate stares without blinking Its cold breath on my spine, reminding me this end is mine. I rose to speak my sin, but my heart stopped at the threshold Leaving me fallen, breathless, surrendered to someone else’s mercy.

[II] The High Priestess
What was I to the world ? I was nothing until my spells worked. To whom I was beloved ? None, Those who praised me At the back they talked. Even the rains bended to my will, But the people averted their eyes. The monsters were having their fill Yet, I was getting fed with lies. My performances were judged, By the minds of illiterates. My condolences were flunked By the hearts of inconsiderates. Oh! How I was questioned, By the ones who aren't legitimate They talked of peace to me ! While themselves holding the belligerent. They took my love, as it was taxes, I didn't bat an eye towards the masses. When they pierced me with their lances, It was humanity shattered like glasses. I shall not destroy the fort As that would be a light task I shall cast a fire that burns every hut Because that is what my heart might ask And so, I conjured a rot, A feces of their own. Wore it hope like a coat, And spells deprived of dawn. It glimmered and valliantely fought, For those who once stampede my lawn. The disease had'eth done a lot, But in a scheme of reprisal it was just a pawn. What am I to the world ? A path of vengeance, Now I walked. To whom am I beloved ? Still None, as the one who resided Is now gone in the dust
