Tenderly I’ll tell you of the saddest book i've ever read; The story of two lovers and how their love is ****** For the love each has for the other represents The only bit of good either of them has, And yet because of this love they share, You can’t help but sympathize in his despair, When she leaves him for a wealthier man, That she doesn’t love and can barely stand, Because she’s too proud to marry beneath her, And so effectively is her own murderer. Dying, and leaving him, as she does Even after all that time, still in love, And so he bides his days until the time he can leave his lonely existence behind and together their ghosts can wander the moor, seperated by the miseries of life no more.

For Heathcliff;
Tenderly I’ll tell you of the saddest book i've ever read; The story of two lovers and how their love is ****** For the love each has for the other represents The only bit of good either of them has, And yet because of this love they share, You can’t help but sympathize in his despair, When she leaves him for a wealthier man, That she doesn’t love and can barely stand, Because she’s too proud to marry beneath her, And so effectively is her own murderer. Dying, and leaving him, as she does Even after all that time, still in love, And so he bides his days until the time he can leave his lonely existence behind and together their ghosts can wander the moor, seperated by the miseries of life no more.
