Royal and Alone

Rare and precious

Hidden for ages

Revealed to a select who neglected to keep it

Behind glass, admired

Longed for, desired

Inside the jewel blazes fire

Dreams of journeys

Hopes inspire

Fights the hands who want to lock her up

Take her home and leave her

Sparkling where no one can see her

Selfishly hoarded, an ether

Permeating peace so tender

Desperation burns within

For freedom and a companion

Carry her to the farthest reaches of the land

Safe at his chest, hanging about his neck

Pulse, beat, ebb, flow

An endeavor, together

Win her, keep her

Closer

Show her the world as it is seen

Reveal the jewel pristine

A real treasure, a queen

To all around to see

But most importantly

Show the jewel her wings

Let her fly and sing

She needs no one

Though she longs

She can rise alone

Her throne is made for one.
