Full of Empty

I hold out gold for others to keep

Who am I for myself to seek

My skin hasn’t seen light of day

Which love will keep me to stay

With being royal comes supremacy

But no one can truly see me

The shadows that fall behind

Once take over for true money to find

How full my life must seem

For others to find isn’t really a dream

The light my skin does not bear

A kiss full of autumn air

Waiting for me to take

Oh how I hope my heart won’t break
