The Queen's Enemy

Just fake your smile..No one will notice how upset you are...Just dont break down and cry!

I watched Tia, the elder wife here of Kajeb's, shes walking in circles. Age thirty-six and still no child. I am only seventeen, later today is my wedding to the king. I am very scared, not nervous, just scared.

Silver willows
Tears from Persia
Those who come
From a far-off island
Winter Chanterelle lies
under cover
Glory-of-the-sun in blue

My tears are gold, since I'll be royal. Only royals cry golden tears. Im dripping all over my gown, Tia finally does my makeup. I looked in the mirror and saw someone new, someone I dont want to know, a spoiled palace brat I will become.

Lying in the long grass
Close beside her
Giving her the name
Of the one the moon loves
This will be the day she
Will remember

Walking down the path of rose petals I meet up with him. I stop and grab his hand. All of a sudden the lights go out and im alone with him. I cry harder.

They can see the sky
Is blue
Knowing that their love
Is true
dreams they never knew
And the sky above is blue
