Queen Inhyeon
The Queen Mother
Dismissed all of the court ladies
Holding my hand she says "Your Highness you must be strong"
I look at the Queen Mother
Tears roll down my face
"My pain is as deep as the ocean" I whisper
She wraps her arms around me
My tears wet her Jeogori
She pulls away
Lifting my head up slowly
Looking into her eyes
"You must not cry any longer. It will be seen as a sign of weakness by that woman" She says
Wiping the tears off my face
She stands giving me an apologetic look and leaves
I crawl to my bed
Looking at the empty space next to me
I cry once more
