Possessions
(Marle’s Song)

Chess peices
dolls
pets on a leash
I hold the strings
I hold the power
and they are just dirt
under my heels

Princess
Regal Highness
they should be bowing at my feet
licking my toes
thanking me
for the beauty and light
I have graced them with

Even he
who gave his life for me
is nothing
just a breeze through my hair
useful
for the time being
and when he no longer amuses me
I will throw him away

Isn’t it great
to be queen?
