Cassiopeia

You were spectacular And the kingdom bowed To your beauty You were invincible A queen, her majesty

But envy reigned And fear ruled over Your empty dreams Swallowed you up The light that you were Blinded you down

The cloth that was covering your scar Transformed to thorns Cut, bruised your skin Bleeding in shame

Radiance fade Stoned in your last wish Darkness echoed A curse hanging From the vast milky way
