Fairy Tale
I built a tower during the darkest days.
A place for the best of me to hide away.
To save my colors from becoming dull.
In a tiny room that was far too full.
Looking for signs that i’d gone mad.
Forgetting a dream that I never had.
Caged and alone, manically pacing.
All the while unaware of the Leviathan I was facing.
High in the tower overlooking the plains.
In tattered clothing ,bearing ancient stains.
I’ve searched the horizons across many skies.
Looking for you and your tranquil eyes.
I did not know that you had hidden away.
In this towers dungeon you secretly lay.
I searched for you but not in the dark.
I looked where the angels might leave their mark.
Asleep in the tombs of those forgotten.
While my colors became dull and rotten.
Defeated I retreat to the towers dark rooms.
Making my place among the ghosts in the tombs.
There in the darkest pits of my ruin.
A face appeared in the light of the moon.
The tower was built, with you inside.
Together in the darkness our sorrows died.
