The last moment

A chill in the air, a thumping heart,
i came so far for a fresh start.
a smell of decay, a trembling word,
i can shout and scream and never be heard.

for i have sinned, i shamed them all,
i did not realize how far i could fall.
for i was high but never that proud,
and now all i hear is the bellowing crowd.

as i stand and stare all around,
i remember the day that i was crowned.
for i was his queen and he was my king
we have come so far from a neat little fling

now my hand are bound with tightened ropes,
as is my heart and all my lost hopes.
as i take my last breath, and lower my chin,
off comes my head to the city of sin.
