Once Mighty King
Immortalized yet fully aware of my limitations
when you would stand next to me.
When you would enter my simple little life.
I was a power empowered by you
and your unrecognized adversity.
Now I rise from a withered throne.
I kick and watch it crumble
hearing the laughing little demons
from somewhere,
now somewhere far away with you.
I feel weakened.
Withered.
Just as this camouflaged piece of crap throne
I once sat in with your lies and negative influence.
Still, I still have my ride.
My malnutritioned steed.
It is time to feed.
To feed it.
To feed my self.
To restore the life-force you sucked dry
and sucked so well.
Well suck this.
God knows it is deserved.
My kingdom lies in ruin.

Such a vivid emotional description of a failed relationship excellently expressed.

Nicely put together, the metaphor is brilliantly scribed.

Powerful and filled with the resolution to rebuild after an emotional soul-sucking woman. I admire your resolve here to recognize the pain she has caused you but to keep going never giving up.

It's always something, and for poets, that usually means our heart is in it.
