Jester To Your Empire

All I have ever been to you

Is the person that made you smile

Made you laugh when you were down

I could mold you into so many shapes

Paint you in so many colors

Yet I remained a jester in your empire

I was always afraid of being beheaded

Or exiled from this land

Of golden roads paved smoothly

Castle walls built higher than mountains

Where tears haven't once left their mark

This land has never seen war

Not one conflict has come to light

Yet my love for you

Always keeps me personally close

To always hear you when you call

I'm a jester in your empire

The only one I think

So why haven't you beheaded me

Or exiled me from this place

That is your heart

When I have caused a million problems

Brought a thousand undesired tears

Yet I remain your jester

I was once your King

And you were once my Queen

I built these castle walls

I paved these roads

I made this empire from the broken pieces of nothing

You left me when I made our love

Seem almost like a fairytale

And you got scared and made me your jester

Stripped me of my crown

Replaced it with a foule-bordeau

I hope your happy now

Maybe this is where I belong

Just wish I could sleep in that bed with you

Listen to our favorite song

And I could make you smile and laugh

All night long and well into the early hours of tomorrow

Yet I know my place as a jester in your empire
