Kingdom Of One I
The light on the bed
A bowl of cereal
The green, blue, and red
A quiet miracle
And although sometimes the empty towns
Result in a loneliness
There’s no one depending on the crown
In a kingdom of one

A girl I once loved
Is now a distant star
Where once there was blood
Now there is only tar
And all of the space and time we shared
Has broken my ribs apart
And pulled every vеin out of my skin
And poisoned my lungs and heart
And sometimеs the memories are so pure
I wonder how we can be so sure…?
But there’s no room for two upon the throne
In a kingdom of one
The light on the bed
A pallid indigo
And reading ahead
Another miracle
And sometimes the silence drags me down
And sometimes it’s deafening
But no one depends upon my crown
In a kingdom of one
