Byron's Whispers

when we three were parted

and tears had been shed

i, cast into shadow,

a husk in my stead

 

the language you speak

the syntax of lies

a shrouded deceit

cloaking your spies

 

no vengence i seek

no pain i demand

insted of your blood

just taller I'll stand

 

in secret you met

in defiance I wait

my love shall be forfeit

and my hate shall never

abate.
