With him she braved the world.

Yet never before was she without

the slightest doubt

this love would be unfurled.



Betwixt his fingers curled,

a rose withered from draught.

Love's water's drained out

thus into the fire it was hurled.



The thinnest chain binding the two,

she struggles to shatter it not.

No matter the pain gone through

from he who is untrue,

Her heart to be forever caught

by the coldest shade of blue.
