Tears for my Beloved

Colors swirl within my mind
Emotions whirl but I am blind
These tears for my beloved fall
Calm amid the raging squall
I fall down hard upon my knees
I miss you unbearably, return to me please
You took me in, in my time of need
I feel you died because of my greed
I collapse weakly amid my sorrow
I may be with you by the 'morrow
These tears for my beloved scream
Slipping back deep into dream

Dead

I came to life the day I healed Liz Parker
my fingers removing her pain
giving her breath again.
I started to die again, when my father died
one of the last links I had left to "home"
but I didn't want to go anywhere
not now, not then.
The children healed me again,
being able to restore to them their lives
saved by my spirit.
But now I'm dead.
I was too late.
He was so cold.
There was so much blood.
On him,
staining my hand forever
with the pain of irrevocable death.
Someone I couldn't save
I am no longer a king in my own right,
a King who can't save his people is
no king at all.
I'll bury my crown under me
I am dead anyway.
