I once ruled a small kingdom…
I was lord; and I was free.

But as I looked out over the land
From atop my royal throne  
I saw no nobles, no knights,
No clergy, no servants…

I had, finally, risen to power,
But now everyone was gone –
Mysteriously vanished,
As the children of Hamelin.

So, there I was, alone;
And the silence haunted me…

.

I am in the valley of despair

My ship is sinking

The Gods mock me

My dreams are dying

Even my imaginary friends hate me

I don't remember the last time I ever cried like this

Oh what a privilege,
to have known you.
I will carry a piece of you,
in my heart forever.

"I love you"
You say
As you lift up my chin
But you're eyes shine with metaphors
And your hand feels like sin

Genuine like a child
Candid like an open book
Exotic like The Wild
Reassuring like a second look
