The hard part of losing someone we love
     is that it takes us one step closer to being completely alone;
     the good, that it brings those left closer together.
     - CJS


Rest in peace, Queen of Hearts
for in Heaven there are no tabloids
no paparazzi to chase you to an early grave

And in defiance of this insanity
for once let two wrongs make a right
the perpetrators' ball and chain
a crown whose only jewels
are the lifted cameras of poor and weak
the princess’ people guaranteeing
billions of eyes united as a single lens
to never stop clicking...
clicking...clicking...at them
