Hearing you whisper your majesty, my beautiful queen, does not soothe me it unravels me, pulling a shiver from deep within. I see my soul mirrored in your selfless gaze, boiling just beneath the surface, a slow, exquisite undoing on the verge of breaking. You look at me as though I were some ancient goddess, holding the first sacred fruit at the beginning of time. And I I should turn away, resist the pull, let you remain untouched by whatever it is I’m becoming. But you are the mirror, reflecting my buried truth that does not lie or hesitate. In your eyes, I see the fragility the same deep abyss, the same endless hunger, that is so hard to resist. We are descending step by step deeper and deeper, down a spiral of stairs firm hands and trembling touch. A labyrinth of dangerous promises, where time forgets itself and we forget who we once were. You follow me not out of obedience, but in surrender so raw it feels like worship has taken form and chosen you. And I let you. Because queens are not meant to ache but I do. I ache in places no light can reach, no healing can undo. And when it rises, there you are, kneeling not in weakness, but in fierce, consuming devotion that would set the world on fire just to keep me whole. You see it all not just the throne, but the ruin beneath it, and the armor guarding it. You worship like one standing at the edge of a cliff, knowing the fall is eternal, and choosing it anyway. So let us unmake each other layer by layer, truth by truth, until no kingdom remains, only the echo of who we were before we dared to truly see one another. And together, we vanish into the dark not taken, not forced, but willingly, hand in hand.
