You were a work of art Made from golden strokes of light A picture of a thousand solar flares
You were a quiet wind In the still of the night As the leaves danced in the wind You followed in their footsteps
You were a queen at a young age Born to rule Given every chance to be successful Yet you wasted it on a boy who couldn’t love you
While you rotted away from a broken heart Your parents tried to save you They tried to paint you in gold And remake the art work That showed who you were
You took their brushes and ripped them to shreds You gathered their paint and smeared it across a canvas Of miserableness You tried to ruin each piece of art they made of you When you crushed their brushes they were sent to tears Yet they started painting with their fingers trying to reach out to you
You slowly realized that you were gold And when you saw the art that showed who you were you began to cry Tears of golden lace and crimson made way for the shower of rose patches on your cheeks
