Beholden, broken final moments.
Dusty dreams of water, life
In twisted, lying, false love tokens
And promises that made her wife.

Sad lady, wracked, alone, unmissed

She who chose to live for love.

Blue eyes, greened, with unshed tear
And black hair whitened for your sake
Foolishly, hopefully held you dear
While you took all there was to take.

You faint heart and she fair lady
Whose hand you should not won
She has passed all hope in maybe.
This is over, all is done.
