young girl, pretty and sweet
waiting for love, her hope in deplete.
petty child, barely eighteen
spectacular emotion she had only seen
with only her parents, has any love last
not even one coming up from the past
young boy, nearly of age
almost a man working for wage
sick of his father, sick of his life
longs for a child, a family, a wife
try to leave as soon as he may
or sneak around to go right away
an unforeseen night, left all alone
until one another, felt one of their own
their beloved daughter had left
along the locket, her pocket she kept
how could she leave, they'd given her everything
worried horribly sick, unsearched they left nothing
their wretched son had finally gone
dead to them if not back before dawn
angry father searched all night
"I find him, he's dead, he'll regret it alright!"
the most unlikely, incredible set
completely inconceivable they had met
they bore the same faces
but come from two different places
the look of shame, drowse and wear
young these children, altogether unfair
love at first sight, some like to think
true, also quick, miss if you blink
a budding romance between these two
nothing could stop their love that grew
but unknown to them a plan devised
take back their child, devils disguise
disowned by father, his mother a traitor
thought he'd forget but had grown to hate her
that detestable boy his father thought
as he held to the cords he had just bought
"That selfish boy how could he go
I gave him food, a bed, a home!"
on the night of the ceremony wed
an intruder in their marriage bed
"I've found you now at last" he cried
before a gasp the boys throat was tied
"Don't hurt him!" his lover yelled out
Then everyone began to shout
"He won't live if he speaks again
You'll be fine, find some other men"
no empathy for this little girl
seeing her love taken from this world
she listened for the softest of words
so quiet, jagged and slurred
"Please my princess listen close
My time here is almost....
I have the key to your locket gold,
I kept it in my broken soul
you may not understand it now
but when I'm gone you'll see, somehow
Our love is a curious thing
I see you and my feelings sing
you're beautiful, I love you
and there's one thing more to share too.
Our love will never end
May this now let it begin
for you and I there's no surprise
no matter what... love never dies."
And with those words he took a breath
the breath she could not soon forget
she cried for days although she knew
that now their love could start anew
he would watch over her days
and she would find new ways to say
"My love, I love you, you're never gone
I know forever, our love lives on."
and with these words the locket opened
a heart now mended, no longer broken.
Some made up words.
Not sure how this happened, sorta darker than I was going for originally.
