The Bloody King

I wake up, exhausted, my whole body aching

My sight unclear, my legs and arms shaking

You stand proudly, undaunted

Then I remember, a ball coming towards me but I collapsed and dodged it


I would have been disappointed

But it seems you did the job, as expected

I guess you noticed my stare as you stared back

And I suddenly felt the power I lack


I unconsciously clutched my chest

As I feel my breath being compressed

Did time just stop or slowed down?

I stare into the eyes of a king with a bloody crown


Will that crown be mine someday?

Or will I have another made?

Then sit beside this bloody king?

But I hope I will not be called his 'queen'


In his eyes, I see lust

Makes me wonder why in him I trust

But then you suddenly looked away

And I did so too, with a slight feeling of dismay
