Solitary King

In times like these I seem to feel it all From the highest mountain to the deepest fall And here I always feel like I’m alone A solitary king upon my throne Watching all my kingdom from afar And gazing at the smallest distant star To find the thing it surely must be for Waiting…

To My Cell I Must Depart

Ever since you told me It’s been burning deep inside And from the flames that chase me I can’t seem to run and hide And yet I always keep it quiet On the outside I am still With every motion I defy it As it shreds away my will Where every night I feel the…

An Endless Winter

This feeling is quite new It’s not as if I meant it Or even understand it But still it lingers Lingers like a sickness That cripples my daily life For I cannot quite ignore it No matter how I try And all the while I do not understand What it is or where it came…
