kings and queens (baby, we were royalty)

this is a very short piece I wrote after a break up.

i thought i should write a "heartbreak" poem

but it's much to soon for me,

still see that smile and hear the way

you said together we'll forever be.

so instead i wrote this la-di-da tune of mine

that holds all these memories

of birds and bees and darkened mead

of a painted queen and her lonely king

and all the times they took a hand

to keep from falling apart

and of all the times they left behind all

but just each other's hearts.

very poignant piece!! well written - I liked the rhythm of it too - it has a gentle flow which reflects the nature of the poem well! I like the idea of it not being a heartbreak poem but rather a little tune, a step before!! enjoyed!

This is heart breaking,
But well written.
