God Complex
weren't we a pair of rivals
housed beneath a dying sun
the king of hearts crippled
the white queen just for fun
how you tormented me with silence
my penniless plate kept overrun
fingertip bruising on my shoulders
your selfish heart aims the gun
how I cast myself in deeper
I grew life and my body changed
yet you do not see the miracles
only the swelling in my face
I burned alive for seven years
seven more I've been in the dark
I celebrate your new family
yet you know I'm torn apart
I'm still trapped underneath you
and the stone you laid over my grave
you broke me well and sealed my hell
to keep me out of the way
so now you have your kingdom
a new queen and the lives we made
as I try to slay the demons
who's vendetta you create
don't worry, darling
I won't touch your pretty crown
I no longer try to move the stone
where you are was never my home
my love was kept in a casket
mocked and abused until I died
separated from my children
made a fool another time
keep laughing at me from your cul-de-sac
the view of my struggle your favorite game
you feel so empowered with her dowry
pray she doesn't play the same
karma is going to strike you down
the dandelions have begun to frown
I've watched every move that you make
I'll let you hang yourself. Make no mistake.
my forgiveness has run out
I've been in the dark too long
I've learned what lies in the shadows
you were born of them all along
housed beneath a dying sun
the king of hearts crippled
the white queen just for fun
how you tormented me with silence
my penniless plate kept overrun
fingertip bruising on my shoulders
your selfish heart aims the gun
how I cast myself in deeper
I grew life and my body changed
yet you do not see the miracles
only the swelling in my face
I burned alive for seven years
seven more I've been in the dark
I celebrate your new family
yet you know I'm torn apart
I'm still trapped underneath you
and the stone you laid over my grave
you broke me well and sealed my hell
to keep me out of the way
so now you have your kingdom
a new queen and the lives we made
as I try to slay the demons

Karma is a bitch. And the perfect companion to all those wishes to have someone see the destruction they created.
Keep on keeping on dear poetess. There is light at the end of suffering.
