My Tears

My Tears

1/16/07

Why do I cry

For the memories I lost?

For the joy that I missed

And the lies that I bought.

My precious tears

I have used for naught,

Cause I didn’t want to lose,

All the battles we fought.

The crown’s on the head

Of the King of Darkness,

 And that tears me apart,

Because I watched him rise above the rest.

I know not how to fight this,

This feeling of forlorn,

All the people that he took,

My friend’s lives that I mourn.

Now I try to find out

How we need to fight back,

I will find the strategy

And the courage to attack.

The strategy I found

Tells me to take a life,

But I can’t use my friends

So I’ll use my own knife.

I don’t want to leave

All my loved ones behind,

But I have to fight back,

And to that I’m resigned.

My tears of worry

May fall at your feet,

But I think of the journey,

And the darkness to defeat.

We need a king

Who is wise and benevolent,

Not a monster,

Who is cruel and malevolent.

I have always fought

To protect my dear friends,

But now this fallen kingdom,

Has come to me to mend.

Please remember me

Once I am gone,

I hope you win this battle,

And can finally face the dawn.

I cry because I must leave,

And I will not come back,

So I shed my tears,

And prepare to attack.
