Stills don't honour
The beauty you hold
The moon knows this best
Every moment she owns the sky
She waxes and she crests

The word 'prodigy' never found its way near my name. Yet, all I hear from peers who used to be proud, now concerned, is ' you know too much.' And I ask, and I cry.
Did I fly too close to the sun again, Father? Am I falling?

My love was a dream
So fulfilling that after it
All reality could give
Fell short
And nothing in this empty world
Could ever hold
The serendipity
Of my humble dissociation
- reign
I am him
Because like Antonio
'In sooth I know not why I am sad.'
I am weary till I am distraught,
Though my sunken ships never see the shore.
- reign
Indeed I am
Lady in waiting
For a highness I met
Once in some dream
Had a conversation in whispers
Amused my Liege
Now I am left on seen
- reign
Oh! She is steep,
The kind that makes you yearn
And fearful to leap;
Because one second
She'll show worlds of looming glory,
And in another you're consumed and spent.

I am trapped with myself. With no one else to be my hell, I am.

You are on your own
Sail wherever you like
These waves are your to tame
This spirit has always been your own to break
And when it comes, the end
Inhale this scent, this sea
Sing your swan song in ecstasy
- reign
I hope it never escapes, the longing to call you today. I will hold it in my heart and let it decay, with the rest of me. Ah! Sure I will not forget you, do not fathom that I regret you. Know this, even if untold, I will see you in every spring leaf turned gold.

If there is an afterlife
I will spend it
Finding a love letter
In those eulogies
- reign
Maybe if
My shattered seams were laden with gold
I could have promised
To have and to hold
But like the former
I broke
