The words "I love you" are bursting reveal
I hope it won't cause you to reel
I know you noticed when I stumbled for an ending
"I love you---'re voice!"
we're like old friends despite knowing each other only a while
still I feel if I said them then they would just be words thrown on a pile
I'll keep holding on with these words in my mouth
and one day I hope you see what they are worth

You
I never wrote you
I never painted your lips with words that last the world and a day

                                     Did I need to?

I didn't craft you into a sonnet or a song, I didn't draw out your existence.

                                      Maybe I just hoped it would last forever by itself.

I'm trusting you as much as you are trusting me.

Built on power lies and gold
how long did you think your halls would hold?
you lost gold, the day it digitized
then you relied on just the power and lies
but you built weapons that can make all things quake
now left with lies, you claim it all for goodness sake
you hold those lies, you hold them dear
they are the only things we have left to hear
you tell us this you tell us that
but we no it means no more than ****
your broken kingdoms hold the world
yet see nothing in it with beauty as you saw with gold
I'm sorry it was taken from you
a true shame you have nothing left to do
your story of protection always fails
when you break peace with yourselves and the wind hears our wails
we people know what we need
it isn't pain, not lies, not greed
there's many among us though, who follow your dream
lost wanderers they seek by you royals to be seen
a foolish notion it was indeed
to give you the reigns and take our lead
