Description me and my pixie queen
touching but not touching
stopped at the fingertips by a wall beyond shattering
i built this wall
out of my doubts and fears
my worries and woes


why dont i tear it down
why cant i tear it down

it is because my doubts and fears mark me all the more as a mortal
not fit for my queen, less than she and the difference marks me
i fear for her, and that fear holds me back stronger than bonds of steel
a dry voice in my head cautions me, always telling me what is good and right
i killed that voice, i dont want whats right, or even what is just
i want just one moment of true bliss with my queen
if her splendor causes my very being to be rent into a thousand pieces

so be it

walls need to come down
