Blood-Red Queen

I gave you my hope,
I gave you my pain.
You kept me silent,
You kept me sane.

I am just
Your blood-red queen,
The product of
Your rage and grief.

I was never meant
To break the silence,
But neither were you,
So why deny it?

We are the ones
Who make me sick.
We step from our skin
To bet and bid.

I am just
Your blood-red queen,
And you are everything
But a king.

I'm not a believer,
I'm not forgiven.
You're not the deceiver,
Nor even the victim.

We are only silent,
It's all we can be.
It's all we ever were,
It's all we've ever seen.

I hold a title
I can't escape
While you want one
You'll never make.

I think I've been silent
For far too long,
Because all I wanted from the beginning
Was something of my own.

But I am just
Your blood-red queen,
I'm all that's left
Of anything.
