"False Reflection Pt. 2" - Original
...
Rustic spoons and russet water,
spoiled rye and porridge old
Callus hands from tending land
winter grief, no escaping cold
...
Such things are commonplace,
in a poor young peasant’s life
Not so common, to take the hand of royalty
thus, becoming a new king’s wife
...
Once a peasant, soon a queen
an idea thought as crass
Yet, truth for a beautiful women
gazing at glass that’s staring back
...
What she sees in her quarter’s mirror though,
a familiar face, but truth her image lacks
Tomorrow she’ll become a queen
but tricked by a false reflection of life, past
...
Worn out sandals and stockings
garment hand-made from goat wool
Too entranced to grasp what’s real
a beauty engulfed in sadness, soon laid to rest a fool
...
“How could I dream of finer things?”
“Such things are of a hopeless fairytale”
With a hastened act, emotions beyond control
her lips grow cold and skin ghost pale
...
Found by her lover, just days after his father’s untimely death
her lover takes his own life, too hard wading life’s water, thick
A king and queen’s future ruined, alongside a kingdom they’d never share
a false reflection can steal life’s truth, in a malevolent twist of sick
...
