The Queen's Dagger Poems

If you look in the background,
you will see what the world does not.
This is not a bad thing,
although that's what they'll tell you.
...

Don't tempt me,
for I am apt to fall.
Don't trust me,
for I am apt to fail.
...

I see you;
I know you are there.
Did I mess up?
Did I ruin it all?
...

Now everyone else has left
but I am still here.
I am still here to take care
of all that you have forgotten;
...

I remember the first day
you told me you loved me.
I remember the sadness I felt
when I didn't feel the same.
...

I look in the mirror
and all that I see is this creature;
this thing that has my soul
trapped in it's very flesh.
...

Why is it that my heart
loves what it's supposed to hate?
What makes the forbidden fruit
seem so beautiful?
...

I don't understand.
I thought you said you loved me.
I thought you said you cared.
You said you'd be there.
...

Why was I so scared?
Why was I so worried?
Why was I so faithless?
Why was I so troubled?
...
