They feel Betrayed

Their Queen,
       Their Leader,
                          left

She complained that the people were rude.
     It wasn't her old friends
         but the new ones she brought in.
Two girls,
         My friend and I,
                   Joined one other girl
                                 as we entered her domain
She welcomed us with open arms
                but then she chose the best
Somehow I slowly slipped out of her equation
        I was being dismissed
               As I clung on for dear life
                                                  I saw it
All her friends,
      guys,
were under her control
But she forgot about their free will
As I tried to get back up
    She saw them acknowledge me.

When she left on two days of business they turned
    They reached down and pulled me up,
           They let me stay,
                           But why?
I didn't see it
    I was quiet,
                 reserved
Never said much
     She was cold to me
        Why was I still here?
           but they embraced me
              Her pets wandered away
                  farther then she wanted them.
On Her return,
                  She left.
Her kingdom perfect,
       She left for something bigger.
She had them all wrapped around her fingers
                  they were Hers to control.
        No one dared to go against her.
The questions she left behind
               The "Why's"
                    went unanswered
A kingdom Queenless
   We trudged on
       trying to survive

They felt Betrayed.

I felt their accusations
       But I swear
             I didn't try
A Queen belongs on her throne
           Not chasing fame.
She may not have liked me
     but is that a reason to knock her down?

I claim innocence
   I didn't drive her away!
Is it really my fault?
    What did I do?
No I didn't try to decrown
                                 your Queen!
Someone will eventually rise to take her place,
    no one will fully fill the hole,
            only she could truly fill it.
No I do not want Her throne,
       It was never my intention.
Truly we need her back,
             What we need is,
                            *Only Ava
Apple on a Rose Apr 2019
Do tear drops hold the weight to bend a single flower petal?
they come from so much energy.
an expression if you will
rounded up all our insides until they are exploding out
with no other possible way to articulate these emotions being felt
so water is produced from our eyes
and our breath is taken to a quiver
with not enough power to decrown a single petal
yet being all the energy, power and will
we can sum up.

— The End —
