The ink smeared
As tears fell, silent drops
Staining the page
Stinging her eyes, burning
Like the words he wrote
For another

Along this path I long to stay
Remembering our yesterday
A single flower graces stone
To let me know I’m not alone
Red, for love once so true
Memories, of me and you
Through these petals, I will cherish
A love like ours, will never perish

Memories, still buried deep
Haunt you in your restless sleep
Tucked away inside your heart
This we knew right from the start
Our lives would never be as one
Betrothed to yet another’s son
I couldn’t hide, he saw my face
Into the dungeon, the only place
He knew to leave me, there to die
Then tell his tales, lie after lie
Of how I broke his heart in two
Because my love was never true
Now buried in the castle keep
I lie here in eternal sleep
And call to you, my only love
Can you hear me from above?
Will you come to stay with me?
Yes! Fulfill our destiny!
Where thorns replace the reddest rose
There, we shall lie, in sweet repose

My love lies strewn about me
Flowers grace the lake
Each one of them now signifies
The vows we’d never break
Yes, we were bound together
In sickness and in health
It’s the love we shared between us
That signified the wealth
We spent the days in harmony
But our favorite spot grew dim
And that is when I truly knew
That you had gone to Him
You left my side too early
I did not understand
Why God would take you from me
That wasn’t what we planned
Yet, I will visit, quite often
Speak to you, under the trees
And you can whisper back to me
With the softness of the breeze

Barefoot, she walks among the roots
Deep within the ground around her
Feels the pulse of life flowing there
She pauses, lets the senses surround her
The lush of the evergreen, hidden away
Still leaves its fragrance there
Even barren and stark, against graying skies
She can breathe in the scent of the air
Listening closely to the sounds of the forest
Its heartbeat in rhythm with her own
Envisioning colors of grandest affair
Once vibrant, though now monotone
Poignantly gathering her last, deepest thought
She sighs as she gazes through limbs
Knowing one day she’ll again return here
To feel the senses she remembers of him
