Her shifty eyes see his bold face lies
she seeks the truth to his own demise
salt pours out as she begins to cry
screaming to anyone

"WHY!?


Why....?!"

She sits there silent as she waits for a reply..
the only thing she hears is lie after lie
and back to the questions that eat at her insides
contemplating thoughts she fought hard to hide
the truth pours out of her traumatic life
and the dreams she once had have suddenly died
absorbed in the night of unheard goodbyes
walking away without fear in her stride
wishing he would do nothing more than try and make it right
wishing that the problem would suddenly find
a new place to harbor her unwelcomed plights


And it seems to her that everyone knows...
like everyone’s in on this big funny joke..
She stands back and waits...It’s bound to play out
She listens to every side ignoring anger and doubt
"The truth will set you free" *she says aloud
blinded momentarily, she laughs..
How did her life get so off track..
When did everything flip upside down?
Why are these lessons feeling so profound...?
Whatever happened to the queen and her crown?
