Crowned

I can only watch your breaking heart for you won’t let go of mine. A violent percussion, muted but persistent, I wish you’d say goodbye. I can not run for I have tried but I was only tracing circles. //You have the key, I’m waiting here chained to the throne you made me. Jewels won’t sate nor storms abate and I just can’t be your baby.// There are two paths, one is lit but I do not know the way. The other’s dark, an inky descent as familiar to me as air. I can only wait for a shift of gravity to save me from destruction. //You have the knife, I’m choking here, strangled by the ropes you gave me. Time won’t abide nor tearstains hide and I just can’t be your baby.// I can only watch your breaking heart for you won’t let go of mine.
