King of the Dark
Sorrow breaks my weakening bones,
And destroys my pride, my crown, my throne.
Leaves me washed up on the beach of despair,
Drowned by tears that carried me here.
Where is my kingdom? Where is my home?
In this aqua jungle I feel alone.
Caught in the waves, bruised and cut,
Before all went dark and my eyes sealed shut.
Sandy shards creep on my skin,
My breaths are low and my blood runs thin.
My streaming eyes are now both drying,
I was strangled by the tears I couldn't stop crying.
I should never have cried, I should never have shown
That I was weak and felt alone.
Sadness is a monster, and destroy me it will,
Yet it was me who gave it the power to kill.
