Cardiac Queen

I can feel us sinking deeper, trying not to flip the boat.
Like a Queen without a castle and a castle without a moat. 

When the beating turns to bleeding, call it cardiac arrest. 
A lifeless little organ placed deep within my chest.

"That which cannot feel", the definition of my name. 
Yet I feel oceans in my tears, and rivers in my veins.

Water-downed and heavy, these parts of me they drown.
 Like a castle without a King, and a King without a crown.
