A/N Just a short GoldenQueen Poem I wrote. It's Regina's thoughts when Rumple falls for Belle.
~()~
Never have I felt feelings such as these
My poor heart aches in my chest
I'd rather die than feel this pain
So I will reach in and my heart I shall wrest
~()~
Free from the reminder with every beat
That his love would never belong to me
That his heart would never love what I am
That he and I truly could never be
~()~
He loves another that much is true
She's sweet and kind and pure
She is everything I could never be
Of that much I am sure
~()~
I'll let him go without a struggle
I'm quite used to loss and pain
And my dear with a hard and iron fist
This kingdom I will rein
~()~
Never again will I love a man
I swear on my father's grave
I'll do my duties as the queen
Stand tall and strong and brave
~()~
I'll try to forget who I once was
That I was a woman who fell in love
With a creature so sly and cunning
Who now has a woman, gentle as a dove
~()~
Death, pain, anguish, agony
I wish upon him all these for what I lost
I'll have to inflict them myself
No matter what the cost
