Echoes of a broken crown

I was your princess, and you were my prince,

I was your queen, and you were my king.

You ruled my heart,

Once upon a time, you loved me, and I loved you.

When did you become the villain, my beloved?

When did you rob me of my crown?

When did you poison me,

When did you curse me to a life

Of eternal sleep,

Of beauty lost in the crowd?

With you, I never needed a throne,

With you, I never wanted a castle.

Your embrace was my palace, and your heart, my throne.

For I ruled your heart as a queen,

And that is where I called home.

Once I was your princess, and you my prince,

Once upon a time, I loved you, and you loved me.

You took over my kingdom disguised as a lover,

You broke down my defenses,

You poisoned my lands,

And burned my home.

What a love story for the ages, my king,

Where the queen never lived happily ever after,

Because the king never loved his queen.

What a love story, my lover.

I waited for my knight in shining armor to save me,

But you came with a black shroud.

While my eyes were closed, you stabbed me,

Covered my beaten body, and left me on a pedestal for all to see.

What happens when a queen loves her king.
