Kings

Like kings we could've ascended a throne
Brought kindness and love to a land where both were unknown
But like two kings, ego became our song
We became enemies, daggers towards each other thrown

From kisses shared at days end,
To a jester in front of your eyes I was turned
"Ha ha ha" your laughter echoed
As I took my last sip from the chalice of our loving
We walked out of the castle that housed us,
Into another land, barren

Here I am rebuilding, my beloved
Without you here in my presence
I shall send words in the form of song into the sky and hope they reach you
I could send my army in your direction to get you,
But truth is I'd rather the universe kept you
In that way I can fall asleep shivering again tonight
But with peace beating loudly in my heart as I visit you

This castle-new is nothing but walls and candles in the dark
I live in it but without you I'm without a beat in my heart
"Guards you're dismissed," I shout
"I needn't protection from thee, I'm already fading. Let the king whose name brings peace know that I've surrendered to the kind eternal. Life without him is tumultuous."

Like kings we could've ascended a throne,
We couldn't,
and now one of us into a crypt lies without a name to own
