I stand outside your palace,
Hardly a king,
Far from a prince,
I watch your eyes shine and your tears fall,
I ask for no more than forgiveness,
Not an end to the pain,
Not a beginning,
I watch the air shimmer between us,
As it always has,
I lost something I shouldn't have,
I let it slip away,
I was blind,
Now I stand outside my palace,
And I can't see you at all
