What I Feel

Sadness is what I feel

Banished from the ones I love

My king, my brother, my friend

How can love be a betrayal?

It is just love!

So alike, we two, in all things

How could we not both love the same woman?

To you, she was your queen

To me, the very heart that beat within my chest

What am I to do now that I have lost?

I don't know what hurts more

I am bereft - without you, without her

I have nothing left

Anger is what I feel!

Anger is what I feel!

I am bereft without her, without you

I have nothing left

Anger is what I feel!

Sadness is what I feel!

Losing the two I love to such treachery

My ally, my brother, my friend

Your unfaithfulness as much a betrayal

As was my wife's

So alike, we two, in all things

I wonder if you had asked what I would have said?

To me, she was my Queen

But you? The very heart that beat within my chest

What am I to do without you here?

I don't know what hurts more

I am bereft - without you, with her gone

I have no one left

Pity is what I feel

Banished from the ones I love

My king, my lover, both friends

We could have shared all

But now it just ends

So alike, you two, in all things

Both loved me, but loved each other more

Had you just asked, had you known

I might've claimed you both as my own

Yet here we spin, and I am bound

Trapped in a role where love's not allowed

In a world where men hold praise

While women must hide desire's blaze

How can love be a betrayal, it is just love

Is love a crime, a cruel deceit?

When all I sought was to make us complete

How could I betray what is but true?

My heart is whole, but split in two

In the silence of empty halls

I hear the echo, duty's call
