You are the deadliest, my love

The bells tolled once again,
And the woman shrieked upon your arrival
She pulled down her curtains and double-checked her locks
She prayed to the gods to be spared.

She built walls, high and strong
Impenetrable, or so she thought
You broke through, brick by brick
She came apart piece by piece

You marched on ahead,
steadfast in your mission
You made your throne
in her heart

She struggled, disobeyed and violently rebelled against you
Once had been enough, she was through
But you claim your victims as you please
And she was just another

Enslaved in your illusion,
Trapped in the dreams you spin
She danced to your tunes
Without a care, without a choice

Unwelcome, unwanted, undesired
A dictator with no decorum
She sees you for who you really are
But who are you, really?

A guest, a ghost, a reward or a curse
Benevolent in creation and merciless in destruction
Asphyxiated by desire, she wails
For her doom awaits her and she carries it in her heart
