Kingdom of Dust

Kingdom of Dust

A Poem by Maxinne Marie

In three years time, the kingdom we had built crumbled into ash. 

Wars were fought, blood spilled, all in the name of you. Of us. 

You knew my heart was a battlefield

And you promised to rule by my side.

What's changed, that you had to stop fighting?

A change of heart, perhaps? 

A longing for something else?

Ambition, treachery, lies? 

You are, always and forever, my king. 

But I am only now a queen with a kingdom of dust.
