The Astounding Fall
You had taken me so far
And I should have trusted you.
Instead, I turned my back, and so
Then you had to, too.
You had made me into a queen
But I did not fear the grave.
So, I decided I knew better...
And now I am a slave.
You had made me full of greatness.
But then I turned and fled.
Now I live in exile,
Tired, widowed, deserted.
I did not consider my future
When I decided to rebel against you.
They say the fall was astounding
And over time my sorrows grew.
So now what is left to do?
I have no one to comfort or help me.
Instead of keeping my eyes on you,
I decided to live life selfishly.
