My friend, my kin, my lover
Thy Destiny awaits!
So make with haste to leave
Our dark, diminished straits

In love, in life, in friendship
We yet besieged each other in war
Its rueful consequences
My wounded mind abhorrs

Caught in the cross-fire
Our sorry souls were maimed
Mocked in public view
I had the shock of your esteem explained

Out of this conundrum Love
Our staunch, strong souls must climb
And hopefully sad memories
Will be effaced by time

So you’re still my kin, my friend
You see true love forgives, lets go
Like a flower that needs to trim the stem
That’s dead, so new life can grow
