The letter I sent you

Was not what it seemed

Dripping with hope, garnished in gold

Inside something screamed

Open the letter

And here you will find

A short invitation

Into all of my mind

Lions and witches

Guard an old, creaky door

While goblins mop up crimson blood

Splattered amongst the floor

Dig a little deeper

And it somehow gets worse

As if my subconscious

Was brutally cursed

Never mind the blood,

The gore, the screams            

The ghosts here are quiet

For all that it seems

And once you get past

My horror movie thoughts

There’s a small door in the back,

You may think you are lost

But Darling, don’t worry

I promise it’s safe

The door has no lock

And there will be no strafe

White light bursts through

And blinds your eyes

While your ears trickle blood

And your heart plans to hear goodbyes

But Darling, don’t panic

You haven’t seen it all

See this is the substance

That makes people fall

Fall back to the forest

The lions, the ghosts

So when they all retreat

My demons hold a toast

But you, you’re special

You didn’t even blink

You felt the blood trickle

And I forgot how to speak

You pushed past the light

And into the room

Where you stood before me

Then I felt my heart boom

You extended your hand

And raised me from the ashes

The demons jaws dropped

As they fell back on their a***s

We sprinted through the door

Still hand in hand

Back to the evil beings

That ruled over this land

Ghosts spat and yelled and cursed at our figures

Our sights were on survival, so we paid them no mind

Soon enough we reached the goblins

Who mopped up the bloody shoe prints we left behind

Behind us was blood but before stood the door!

My grip on you tightened as the witches screeched

My ears rang with the pitty I felt for their souls

For their fortress of solitude has finally been breached

The wooden doors creaked

As you pushed them wide

Streams of sunlight flooded my vision

You struggled to hold me as I ran to go hide

Golden rays illuminated your face

And you never looked more alive

The sun left warm kisses among my skin

I finally felt myself begin to thrive

Thrive in the warmth of the sun

And in the warmth of your love

We sat for what seemed like ages

Until we began to feel a shove

Destiny rushed us into eachothers arms

And she ripped us from the embrace just as fast

Our short amount of time together was impeccable

I just wish we were made to last

When I returned to the creaky doors

The Queens presence was immediately felt

The goblins and witches fell to their knees

And their frozen hearts began to melt

I regained my throne

Which I had never realized I lost

Turns out it was hidden in the ashes

And when returned was covered in frost

But tender love and care revitalized the throne

Yet I still felt your fingertips graze my skin

As I became accustomed as Queen of myself

Your memories made me let out a hidden grin

The witches asked me why I had seized my power

Though I had previously been so meek

I told them a king from another land

Had given me the courage to never again be weak

Because of you, The witches are kinder

The goblins are lively, the doors no longer creak

I am free to leave at any time I please

And the demons will no longer shriek

Thank you, my love

Your presence will surely be missed

The way you smothered me in sunshine

Will always be sealed in the form of our kiss
