Sinister clouds formed overhead
The air turned bitterly cold
Shadows grasped at everything.
The sunshine and peace were sold
To haunting chills and it's black sting.
She turned reaching for her lover's warmth
But, he was gone. Gone!
Her heart raced, she leapt to her feet
She searched, her heart torn.
Then she spotted him amongst the wheat.
She ran to him, her beloved!
His back was turned to her. but...
When he turned around she saw
His heart to her was shut.
True love she saw no more.
His soft face was gaunt,
His gentle eyes were ice.
He fixed he with a stare
That threw her heart like dice,
Though it seemed he did not care.
Tears rolled down her cheeks
As she fell down on her knees.
'What have I done wrong?
Tell me please, oh please.'
His voice was dark and sombre
When finally he did speak.
He said she didn't love him
Because she was too meek.
She clutched to him and sobbed
'I'm sorry, I don't know how to love.'
She tried to kiss his lips
But for that received a shove.
Shadows all around him
As he told her all her faults
An how her heart is cold.
Locked away behind bolts,
Alone she would grow old.
He wouldn't look into her eyes
Incase she saw inside
His heart and mind both locked
The key was held by Pride.
She forced their eyes to meet
And she saw the demons of his past.
Death, drugs, lies, murder, his woes
All of it she was at last,
Even without the words, she knows.
'I love you, no matter whats been done
Nothing will scare me away from you.
I love you with all I can be
Trust that what I say is true.'
'I love you.' He whispered back
'But these demons are my own
All the memories are haunting.
So through life I'll go alone,
Until Death comes courting.'
'Don't leave me here, Beloved'
She took his hand in hers.
'Or here I'll forever wait,
Years, weeks, days, and hours
No matter what your fate.'
'Don't.' He said 'move on with life
forget that I exist
I know you will do well
It's best for you like this.'
