"If you want to be happy, be." ~Leo Tolstoy


Gods envy my touch
Kings lust my crown
I shout and the echoing of my voice turns the air itself into gold
My magnificence is not whispered, it is sung throughout every kingdom
Once a king of mere plants, I am now the lord of gold
What was once a gift has become my curse
And darling my eyes shed tears glistening down my face
As I watch your eyes turn into lifeless metal
The warmth escapes your body
The gold encasing my heart melts
Cracks begin to trickle down
I am so sorry love
That I could not see
You are the rose I lost

I love it, very meaningful! But I possibly have a silly question, I went to show one of my friends your song/poem thing, "Dance With Me" and it's not there anymore... did you delete it...?
