Say my name,
One last time,
Take my blame,
For just a while,
Braid my hair,
And tell me lies,
This is just the beginning,
Of my demise.

Secret gardens,
Backlit rooms,
Treasure chest tokens,
Removed by you,
A sketched out drawing,
A little white lie,
Pencil drawn outlines,
As days gone by,
My heart will wither,
For it is thee,
A season upon us,
For all to see,
From here I stare vacant,
You call for me,
I cannot hear you,
I cannot breathe,
My heart has grown solid,
Fractured in time,
I'm still sat here,
Your eyes on mine,
The blue and the green,
A woven seem,
How can I forget you?
It's clear to me,
You steal the souls,
Of girls gone by,
To have and to hold,
A sickening lie,
You tell them you love them,
Till the day you die,
But you died long ago,
Your shadow bone dry,
I can now see,
What you truly are,
A soul once lost,
Amongst the stars,
I can't forget you,
An indefinite flaw,
My vessel is tired,
Tied to shore,
I just want to wander,
Beneath the skies,
One day it will seem,
Like this daydream's goodbye,
But little does he know,
I am the queen of long lives,
For he is the anchor,
My throne untied,
He now sails,
Far across shores,
Our invisible string,
Now rubbed raw,
As queen I condemn,
Your damned withdraw,
You never did realise,
I am the God of the lost cause.
