The Night They Almost Lost Her/The Queen

The Night They Almost Lost Her\The Queen

Dear Darkness,

Tears are filling her eyes,

Creating a haze over her vision

Until headlights fill the windshield

She loses control

Of the car

Of her body

Of her thoughts

Her last thoughts are as follows:
What a nice song to end on,

What a nice text to end on,

How peculiar a headline in the local courier,

“Queen Dies in Car Accident Hours After Correnation”

It’s funny to her

How life is so good, then all of a sudden so bad

However, they were never truly good.

Her king did not love her back

The castle she inhabited stood silent, sometimes filled with screams

She knew deep down, in a few months she would have no meaning.

That night she thought she saw her final light

She recalled the last person she hugged,

The last person she told goodbye

The last “I love you”

It terrified her.

When reality came creeping back, she was dumbfounded.

In the midst of such a situation, she was so at peace.

Now, life resumed.

No more peace.

She was just a girl, in a crown, crying in her car on the side of the road.

She wasn’t dead, but perhaps she wanted to be

Immediately after the accident,

Life was different

She couldn’t explain it

life was just so loud

She looked at her mother,

Little did she know her daughter almost died.

She looked at her friends,

Little did they know she was so at peace.

She looked at herself,

Little did she know, she was no longer wanted here.

As the days went by, life resumed.

Still, no one knew.

The fear she faced, turned humourous

She laughed at death, with hidden hopes they’d meet again soon

Her laughter turned into tears soon after,

She realized how little she was,

Just another car on the side of the road,

As she walks her waking life

Her dreams take her back to her bliss

The headlights coming into her lane

The last lyrics

“You left everything that you love behind”

And she says goodbye

The sweet bliss envelopes her

Love, The queen
