Balcony

Sat there on my balcony hoping you would come back to me
I played the chords on my guitar but the music didn't 
seem the same 
The winter breeze embraced me 
as though it understood how I was feeling
But then, it whispered in my ear
"It's been a while since you  got drenched in sorrow
 get up and prepare for the morrow
time ain't something that you can borrow"
And those words hit me hard
I stood up with a lonely and despairing heart
 Didn't know how and from where to start
But words of the breeze echoed from every part
I started traveling from town to town
to rebuild the life that you turned upside down
In that journey, I started enjoying a newfound freedom
and gradually  regained  my true majestic kingdom
I began to live my life the way it was meant to be lived
I sat on my throne and played the chords on my guitar and
 the music now felt a 100 times greater than it used to be
