Fates cruel game

She looks out of her window
her gaze drawn to the sea
where her true love died that day
a meaningless loss

this just seemed to harsh a punishment
for god forbade their lust
condeming them both at once
him to the ocean her to her husband

he was always there for her
when ever her husband had drank too much
he showed her such gentleness
the kind never shown to her before

it was just fates cruel game
that he was her husbands best friend
once there to heal her many scars
now gone she is left to bleed

the day of his service for the first time both husband and wife are united
both mourning this mans absence
only he mourns a dear friend
whereas she mourns the fact there now seems no escape
