Shouts echo through the halls

Two lovers fight

Or one lover fights with herself

The lady told her love the tale

Of the letter that she received

And the news it held

And her plan

To go and take care of her mother

To wrap up the lose ends in her old life

And to say her good-byes

To return by the end of a week

Two at the most

The cursed does not hear this

Can’t not hear this

Only two words register

Ring in her ears

Go home

Leave her

She can not believe she’ll return

As so many have left

And the ghosts still cloud her mind

So she yells

Tells her not to return

That if she leaves

That’s it

The doesn’t know what to do

Worn out by tears and worry

So she does the only thing she can think of

Cries out her promise and decree

And declares her stance

‘Never will I love another, Only you.

If you cast me out

Deny me your being

Touch and love,

I’d surely end myself

Than live without you.’

The cursed stands in awe

Not totally comprehending

Looking out the window

As thoughts and voices crowd her mind

Her fears whispering their venom

Her logic tells her otherwise

Finally she turns

And wipes away the tears

From her eyes and the lady’s

And whispers in her ear

That if her words are true

Then her wish will be granted

Upon her return

Their bond will be sealed

Finally and forever

And if not

Neither say

But as the kiss

In their desperation

The cold starts to creep in
