Author's note: A poem from Queen Olympias' POV. Jolie makes such a delightfully twisted character when she acts.
Love can be fun,
But so can death.
It's an adventure –
The end – and beginning –
Of all things.
-
With the snakes in my head,
Driving me mad with –
Whispers –
Of hate – pain – grief
Tumescent in their gathering.
-
I was never sane.
No one could say so.
Maybe I flirted with –
Insanity.
Dancing on a blade's edge.
-
So what, my barbarian King?
Craziness makes the dark more appealing,
And yet…
I cannot help but wonder…
Who is the least crazy?
-
At least I can admit it.
But I have beget my revenge,
And nothing shall stop him.
