A Queen sat by her throne, looking at her Queen.
She asks, oh my love, am I worthy?
For I am broken.
I am but a shadow under you.
Looking at her agape, she spoke.
My love, if you could look through these golden eyes of mine.
For what you'll find in front of you is eldorado.
If you could look through these golden eyes of mine.
Broken? You are for all but broken.
If you were, then I'd be the piece to hold you as one.
Broken? To me you are all but.
For my love sees no imperfections.
Instead, uniqueness is all I see.
Through these golden eyes of mine.
Through them I see a light of hope.
For the light at the end of the tunnel is what you are.
A light that gives life.
My love? Called out again the Queen.
Her Queen replied: Yes love?
Why do you love me?
Once again left surprised by her question.
If you still ask, then through these eyes you've not looked and through this heart you've not felt.
For through these, all I see is life and love for you.
For without my eldorado, I'm but a toxic wasteland.
A forgotten tale.
A shining jewel is not enough to describe you.
You are as precious as oxygen.
For without it, we could not live.
Broken? No. Loved? More than I could express.
More than you know. For this heart of mine surely implodes with love that does not fit it, as my love for you is bigger than anything in this universe.
Greater than you think. As endless as the vast ocean. For you? Anything and everything.
Said the Queen's Queen.
