#queen of hell

I’ll tell you I’ve changed. I’ll tell you,

the red on my lips isn’t wine.

“I wanted pomegranates—

I wanted darkness,

I wanted him.

So I grabbed my king and ran away

to a land of death,

where I reigned and people whispered

that I’d been dragged.”

“I asked him for it.

For the blood, for the rust,

for the sin.

I didn’t want the pearls other girls talked about,

or the fine marble of palaces,

or even the roses in the mouth of servants.”
