Kingdom Hearts and Coffin Nails
Not everyone deserves a happily ever after.
You dig motes with your words,
arming them with venomous spite and biting insults.
Burning every bridge you ever built,
cutting ropes like Rapunzel's locks.
No turning back now-
the mighty Queen is far too noble for the peasants
she once called dear friends.
Sure, you have your Prince, blinded by the rose-colored thorns.
Yet eventually even he finds it futile
to attempt to scale your treacherous walls.
So suddenly you're alone
looking out from the tower you've locked yourself inside
sneering at the festivities below,
"Alone is what I have. Alone protects me."
But a hidden part of you quakes at the finality;
no way to get yourself out
and not a soul willing to help you down.
Looks like your Queendom is swiftly becoming a coffin
and you're nailing the lid closed from the inside
