Long Live Love

 

Elizabeth Varrasso

 

Long live my false King

My destroyer

My lover

Long live the hated passion

I haven't made it home yet

Times are changing and I'm lost

I can't run

I'm nothing

I love the man I hate

He beats me in the night

He holds me in the light

I hold the marks of love and hide the marks he leaves

I'll stand through the nights

Lie in the day of my life

Marvel at his words and

Quiver at his feel

Long live his beaten Queen

crouching at his feet
