I am a fool who fell from skies,
caught up in a ride among stars.
I lost myself one summer’s night,
in the blue grey of your eyes.
We lifted off through timeless space,
unaware of friends and places.
Looking for moons beyond our own
and rising to the unknown.
But now my king has lost his shine,
as a knight’s armor tarnishes with tears.
Leaving me to feel
discarded, breathless and numb.
Only now I see, we were both alone,
as we stood in different places;
me loving you
and you loving yourself alone.
Perfection can be deceiving
for a newly christened king.
But your queen neglected
to look inside…
the part that gives life
and love was gone,
the most important part.
P.S. a space and place for your heart.
