Lover's Slaughter
Her heart was made of beating wings
Of tides and winds and churning things
So much she'd take, but give nothing back
If you fall for her, you are surely trapped
She yearns for love, an unknown thirst
But to have none, this girl is cursed
A heart of gold could not hers win
For something's missing from within
She sees them all, through and through
Men and knights, boys and fools
A single glance is all it took
Seduced by her with just one look
They pine for her, heart and hand
And fleetingly, she felt something grand
But in such short time, it's all gone
Left in one-way love while she looks on
Unsatisfied, she wants that feeling too
And so one by one, he suitors she slew
And every one, she swallowed their heart
When feelings of love didn't last past dark
Trying to hold what they felt for her
Instead it became a lover's slaughter
She waits and waits for the one to come
The one to set this spell undone
She's ever patient, waiting for such a day
That true love will keep dark magic at bay
And finally she can come to know
The spark of love, and watch it grow
But time is the longest road to walk
She fears death before her hearts unlocked
Yet still she keeps that promiseΒ alive
Through it all, her hope survives
For one to appear, noble and true
To whom she can honestly say, I love you
