Story of a Queen

Breath by breath

Day by day

I'll learn to live without you.

I will break and rebreak my bones

Until all the blood you once made warm

Seeps out of my veins,

Only the ghost of you remains

Levitating in the darkest alley of my brain.

I will scrub my skin of your touch

Till I start to bleed.

The kisses you once planted on my forehead

Be just an indiscernible sting

I can walk by myself

I do not need you as a cane

I will fall down a thousand times

But I will not let slip your name

And I will stand in the rain

Until I catch a cold;

My body be a trembling mess

And you hear the clatter of my jaw

But I refuse to take your coat

I refuse your warmth

I will build myself a castle

on the coldest mountain I can find,

Whose every stone in each confine

Will quake as I stand tall,

With a crown on my head,

WITHOUT a man by my side.
