Desperation & Cacophony
A great deal of time ago
In a land you never knew Quite the tale unfolded And every speck of it was true --- A girl was born of royalty A princess in every way Graceful, quiet, wealthy But affection she did not display The father was a king no doubt Strict and straight and proud He did not seem to care at all His daughter was not loud The mother was the pious sort To god she looked for all Praise she gave for her station in life And of him she was in thrall --- The King one day met a maid She was exotic and sublime The Queen went mad with jealousy Which worsened over time The maid gave birth to a boy Seven years after they met And oh how torn the Queen was For duty she did fret She killed the maid and kept the boy The King was none too pleased But now her girl was six years old And the King struck down diseased --- The Princess and the bastard Prince Together they were placed Raised as siblings for seven years Young life together they so faced Jealous though the Queen became Of her own daughter's love and trust Separated she so decided right Get away from her he must. She kicked him down to servant's status Only seven years he had aged Treated like the bastard son Of common blood he raged --- The Princess died an inner death The Queen indeed had done The one who opened up her heart Her brother was her sun Alone and sad she was indeed Days passed into months and years The girl longed blindly for the boy 'Till memories turned into fears Irreparable were the effects The separation had enacted Delusion blossomed in their minds Their hearts twisted and defracted |
The older that the Queen became
The louder was her madness But love she did her little girl Blind to all her sadness Praising her with all her love Doting with affection Nothing touched her daughter's heart It had made its own selection Though quite crazy was the Queen She had her daughter promise twice She must be taken care of well Only a prince would suffice --- Left alone and far away Only he in his heart did remain The Prince was by himself again The second time driving him insane He took up his sword Wracked with his inner cries Gone before the toll of twelve Flames of murder in his eyes Massacre occurred the following weeks Within the castle, dealt cold and cruel He slaughtered all along his path His heart dyed black with bloody fuel --- The castle of his sister's king He ended all that lived in or near Climbing through stone passageways Residents scattered in mindless fear Conquering the castle with brute force The desolation of his blade Meting out his twisted rage and pain His feelings fresh, with yet to fade Sneaking in his sister's chambers Slipping in with ease Evading all his obstacles He killed her husband on his knees --- Finding her once again He embraced his Princess tight They coupled so very in love Together he knew they were right In the morn though he discovered His princess had been and was with child Before she woke, slay her did he No longer his, she'd been defiled Two castles left of rotting dead Plagued with madness and mystery An empty heart of pure despair Lost to time and history |
