He saw everything he expected a worthy queen to contain
She was positively indescribable, beauty by another name
Without the slightest enlightened notion that his heart would be drained
And she, only the first, followed by several more just the same
The king, entranced in the moment, oblivious to obvious signs
More of a jester than a queen, necessary to read between the lines
How could his royal taste betray him? The king thought, surprised
Proclaiming he was at fault, being the common factor each time
Lost soloist of love, esteem running low regarding self
Confused, used and abused; emotions shamelessly felt
Caring for many others, whether it be health or wealth
Destined to only dream of it returning from someone else
