A Little More Than Kin A Little Less Than Kind

How shall I describe thee?

A Little More Than Kin A Little Less Than Kind?

A viper turned Cobra with the murder of a brother?

With poison meant for prey, thy sucked him dry like a leech

Taking from him, his life, his crown, his love, his family

With whom you treat with such disdain

That only those not blinded by lust and adoration

May see through you ruse

You married your sister,

Your Queen,

His wife.

Hardly more than kin, certainly less than kind.
