A Once Future King

I wrote this with Loki feels

I was born to be king.

But he stole me from my home

And raised me as his own.

I was sworn to be king.

But he beat me yet again

And I slipped into the abyss,

I was trained to be king.

But they ended my reign

and took me home again.

And what if I don't want to go back?

A once future king with nothing left?

What point is a home these days?

When I wish to hide from their searching gaze?

A once future king, they told me again

I just had to fight and I had to win-

and I did, I did! Alas, I did!

But the throne is something I will never get.

I felt it once, through treason and betrayal-

A once future king who was more than able.

And my scheme would have worked

had he not wished to be honest and good.

So a once future king was turned.

Evil does not describe this feeling inside,

that makes the slowest run and the bravest hide.

It's hatred, not less- and nothing more

I just want to receive what I worked for.

A once future king, banned even from Hell

Ah, but where can a tyrant go now?

I was born to be king, but I am no longer me

I am a once future king who does nothing but dream.

Author's Note

Yeah. I had Loki feels. I wrote a poem.
I love Loki.
Poor Loki.

[Kuro]

This is beautiful, and so is Loki. I applaud you.

[Austin H.]

The title of this is very similar to T.H. White's "Once and Future King". Have to wonder if there is a connection.

[astoundinglyattractive]

No, I was not even aware a book by that title existed. Would you recommend it as a good read?

[Austin H.]

I would recommend it. It's about King Arthur.

[astoundinglyattractive]

Hm, interesting. I have read one book about him, Le Morte d'Arthur, and I very much enjoyed it. I think I will have to put Once and Future King on my list, then.

[astoundinglyattractive]
