Why leave me now?
How can you walk away from us with her?
Why leave me now?
You’re in my blood,
flowing through my veins,
we were each other’s heart —
forever, I thought.
How can you say
you’ve found a new love,
someone you adore,
while I stand
an afterthought,
unwanted,
forgotten,
a nothing?
Did my touch turn cold
without me knowing?
Did my words lose their weight
while yours still burned in me?
I was a whisper
you learned to ignore,
a shadow fading
while you lit a new flame.
Tell me,
was I ever more than silence
filling the spaces
between your heartbeats?
Or was I just a wound
you were waiting
to heal over,
to disappear?
So go,
let your new love wear
the crown I once held,
let them drink from the cup
I once filled with my soul.
But remember,
blood doesn’t forget,
and neither do ghosts.

Book Review: "The Queen" by Andrew Morton
You're probably wondering why on earth I would read this book. It was free and it was a fair length. That was basically it at first. But another reason is because I enjoyed the show The Crown and so, it only makes sense to read a book that goes through separating facts from fictions - and to be fair, there aren't a lot of fictions about the show it seems. From the birth of the little princess and the way in which her father was reluctantly to become the king, all the way to meeting and marrying the veteran prince, Duke of Edinburgh and even down to the death of her father, queendom and beyond, this book actually gives us a lot about a woman who basically embodied the greatness and modernisation of the British 20th Century.
