Posed To Death

I feel a warm resistance 
Beneath the outer layer 
What once moved living organs 
Leaks through a thin veneer 
Blue blooded royal body 
Elegantly posed to death 
Not speaking prince now are you? 
Not breathing one more breath 

Just now the curtain's folding 
It falls and lies to rest 
So selfish royal brother 
You've loved your wife to death 
Your ways could not continue 
You'd rule with hateful hands 
I called you toward the staircase 
And I caused your violent end.
