My light has faded   

Just as the sun does every night,

At times it appears jaded,

But try as I might

I can never harness its fire

Even as it never leaves my mind's sight

And at times I wish I was its sire,

But then I remember

They call him 'King',

And he bows whilst he ordains me 'Queen',

Yet does it matter when we're spelled to fall like cards?

So every morning as I glance in the mirror,

Only to perceive myself through glass shards

It hits me that we are not the same

As I can never be the flame

Because I am the hurricane

That they will never have the power to contain;

And while they murdered our Grace

And sent her back covered in ribbons and lace

No one identifies the Ghost

That lurks in front of our eyes

Never waiting for the clearing of the coast

So that he may attack and break all of the ties

That keep us bounded here,

And prepare us for slaughter as if we are deer.

The King kneels tall,

Knowing that he has lost it all;

His Queen has gone down

Not before she has won him the crown;

Yet she lies on the ground,

With the King bearing her crown,

Because by duty he is bound

To not let his family drown

Yet what is this 'King' without his Queen?

Nothing,

A pretender,

A failure,

Or is he all of that and more?

It is impossible to be quite sure,

Perhaps he is a peacock unable to preen

As he let them be hunted

While the Commander was shunted

So what now of Potere?

What of Lealtà?

Were they even there?

Or had they vanished like the Poison's neonata?

Suddenly it all makes sense

Why all situations are so tense,

It is because there is no more Onore

Which bestows the Demons with such allure

That they strip away la Fiducia

And prepare the katyusha,

That promises a bloody war

And guarantees that there shall be a reign no more.

Author's Note: Hi everyone! I had another poem that I wished to share with you all and this poem is actually dedicated to an unbelievably amazing author on this platform, taintedkissesxo. Any references to this fantastic author's characters belong to the author herself. This poem is not written to take credit for any of her writing or her characters, rather I mean for this poem, in a way, immortalize them more on this platform (if that makes sense). This poem does not do justice to any of this author's characters, but I felt moved to write this poem based on her writings. Also, this poem is not expressly meant to describe or detail the plot of any character(s) in taintedkissesxo's novel and most of the plot in this poem are based on my thoughts of what I think may happen in the story as it goes on. With that in mind please tell me what you, as a reader, think of this poem! I really want to hear your thoughts and suggestions as to how I can improve. It would really make my day and night :). 

P.S. if you think this poem deserves it then if you could please even consider giving it a vote (by clicking the little star on the corner of the page) then that would be nice, but I mainly want to hear my reader's or readers' (if I get that lucky 🍀) thoughts/opinions on this little snippet of writing!
