My kingdom and all its glory for her name.
I swore I would never forget, after reading it so many times.
I would never forget...
And here I am, like a goldfish in its crystal bowl.
Wishing I could remember as if it would mean something.
As if somehow her impact on me would translate into
His impact on the world.
As if I could play proxy for her hopes and dreams and that if I could
Keep that candle bright,
That flame a-stoked,
That it would make it real for her.
I want to reach out,
To remind her it was real for me, too.
That I would keep a cold guard at the door of his tomb,
Witness to his miracle and tragedy.
And somehow burn bright that hope in the sky above
To save us both.
If only I could remember...
