Forgotten Queen

As Daylight fades on cracked concrete
The faded brick behemoth lurks in the shadow
Another lonely night for the sleeping giant
The Queen of Detritus weeps over her broken crown
Stirring in the echoes etched on her walls
The sound of her lone footsteps pang against the ply
Once home to thousands of walking now just her
Wondering through the chainlike mire at dusk
Dirt and grime line the once shining halls
The Angels overlook the fountains
But when the queen locked herself in
No angels come for her anymore not even today
She looks at the fluttering waters
Her warped image staring back
Youth at age 27 still a young queen
Still she wonders alone forgotten
The lush gardens once housed within
Now lay brown and wilted like her soul
Pity on those who forgot to tend
The Queen begins to weep once more
As she looks to the life outside her window
Stuck in an age of yesterdays
She can never move towards tomorrow
Nor can she ever make it full circle
Holding the fence her life is surreal
It's so easy but she can't play
Guided by moonlight our maiden arrives
Still searching the halls tears in her eyes
Somethings can never change
No matter how much or hard they try
Her Majesty of another age is one
The Maiden still looking is another
They both move floor to floor
Moonlight is all they have to share
Amoungst the broken tiles and dusty wood
The etched glass and the warped steel
The maiden puts her hand on the door
Covered in ply still she feels the outside
You can see them in the broken windows
Their fortress deemed a relic of the past
Still they keep searching for a love
The love that moved tens of thousands
Still you might hear The Queen crying
As her kingdom falls to the abyssial dusk once more
