Beheaded

The crown was placed above my brow.
While I began my sacred vow.

I was attended by many and adored by all.
Until the day I did fall.

Human desires caught up to me.
Desires I could not fight or flee.

I was tried and locked
to be killed tonight.

They pulled me to the court yard my very own guards.

Read a prayer said some words placed a head on the block of wood.

My seconds ticked and then no more my last sight was as follows.

Beheaded as I was the same crowd that applauded my beginning applauded for my end.
