Shattered Crown

She cracked the code of betrayal, late night schemes,

Caught her in the act, love ripped at the seams,

Casanova’s lean, front row at his dream,

I played the king, turns out, she the queen of extremes.

Love a cold weapon, sharp in the dark,

Slice through the heart, now I’m falling apart,

Tried to be loyal, but she missed that mark,

Left a torch in my soul, watch it burn, leave a spark.

Her lies stacked high like blocks in Jenga,

Heart hit the floor, now my mind got anger,

Opened up the vault, found deception linger,

Swore she was a symphony, now she's just a clinger.

Fingers on the phone, texts left on read,

Rewind moments, words that I misled,

Love was a gamble, but she bet red instead,

Casino slot spinning, her jackpot with the dread.

Called me a prophet, turns out she a crook,

Stole from my chest, left me shook,

Living out our plot straight out a comic book,

But villains don’t win, now I retract that hook.

Love a cold weapon, sharp in the dark,

Slice through the heart, now I’m falling apart,

Tried to be loyal, but she missed that mark,

Left a torch in my soul, watch it burn, leave a spark.
