Analysis of A king without his queen



My castle only exists with people who make my life complete. my journey for happiness can be seen, but at night there's no queen to meet.

The legacy of my life is simple , no tears must ever be shown.But in my kingdom there's only loneliness,no man should die alone.

I've tried to believe and trust a few , but I always remember my past. Moving on should be the thing that I do, no king should finish last.

Sadness is when you give up on your dreams, loniness comes if you let it into your kingdom.
how can my legacy continue? without giving up my freedom..

love is the most complex emotion that a human being owns.
it can build a great wall, or cumble a castle into little stones.

I have two thrones, but no one to sit beside me.
I need a queen to help fight the demons that lie inside me.

Just like chess, the queen will protect her king
she is the diamond within my ring.

It takes two wings for a bird to fly
one without the other, they are sure to die.

Till the day that my sins and heart are redeemed
i shall remain a king without a queen..
