Epitaph Empress
Author's Note: So, maybe I won't be sticking to the two-chapters-per-day rule; that one was just a one-off. You guys are lucky. Besides, I think two in one day would be hell to actually have to write. . . Anyway, on with Part Three! Ooh, around the halfway mark now. . . Sorry that it's just a poem and all ::guilty look:: The next proper chapter will be up soon!
Liber Tertius: Queen of the Dead
She sits
In her throne of night.
She stares
Into hearts of darkness.
She shrinks
As fear overwhelms all.
She sighs
Her crown is so heavy!
She squirms
Escaping death's gaze.
She sees
A love too terrible.
She sleeps
Lost without tender dreams.
She screams
How afraid she is of the dark!
She stops
Determined with hope.
She stirs
Awakened by black warmth.
She stands
Tending to her duties.
She sings
And the sun shines!
