this queen has been pushed from her throne
lies apparent, the integrity of the crown vanquished
the common girl, the one with the blue eyes
and singing voice, had the man this queen,
partially evil, desired-
as ruler of the kingdom she would
and could do as she pleased,
exercising her power to a terrifying extent,
until the twigs snapped loudly in the night
and though this common girl did not replace
her and take on the royal title, she possessed
more than this queen could ever wish for;
love
