I wonder what would happen
If I gave you all my words;
Sealed in envelopes and wrapped in pretty bows?

I wonder, would you cry,
As you read about my pains;
Would you understand why I hurt so very, very deep?

I wonder if you would jump for joy
As you read about my happiness;
Would you rejoice as I discovered new feelings and relationships?

I wonder if you would share in my confusion
As you read about my struggles;
Would you realize how scared I am, not knowing where I fit in?

I wonder, would you see my loneliness,
As you read about my ended friendships;
Would you comprehend why I never let people get too close?

I wonder if you would see my calls for help
As you read between the lines;
Would you see the pain, the darkness, that reaches out through my words?

But all I'll ever do is wonder,
Because I know you'd never read my words;
Even if I asked you to.

Left my kingdom of a time long past
within the grave of my icy throne.
Where did my people go?
Even in death I never expected to be so alone
never thought I'd wish this eternal sleep to last.
Now I'm surrounded by metal beasts
losing my soul in a royal disgrace.
Where did my people go?
Drinking despair as I taste
the bitter lies of this feast.
No one remembers my wife or child
long forgotten before yesterday begins.
Where did my people go?
If wandering is the curse of my sin
has romantic ideals become so wild?
Today I bow my head to pray
for the dead's wasted light.
Where did my people go?
Closed my eyes, and now it's night
sleeping without someone once worth the stay.
