The King


A king once sat upon his throne And made such choice to be alone For fear of love turned, taking ill But this choice strained beneath his will His loneliness forced silent moan And thieving love ripped heart from bone Then to the shadows she did steal But had the love been false or real No it be taken yet not earned Never such thief will return
