<Lana's POV>
As my knight does depart
Disappearing from view
He breaks my heart,
By doubting our love true
Just last night
Love did upon us impress
That in Her sight
Our feelings, we could express
In the starlight
We did kiss
Our eyes shining bright
Treasuring our bliss
What happened since?
Why is he afraid?
What our lives did mince?
Leaving us all dismayed?
Sitting in the rubble
He babbled about "him"
Our lives popped like a bubble
Because of an unspoken sin
Once again, bereft, am I
Only my tears stand here
My hopes do fly
Replaced by fear
I sat for hours
Looking all around
Staring at the flowers
Hearing not a sound
My parents are gone
My friends did follow
Just when Fortune did dawn
Its promise proved hollow
This time, I stand
I will not cower
Like a princess bland
Or a delicate flower
No, I will fight
I will strive
After him, I take flight
For our love to survive
And so, I set out.
As Britomart did do
So long ago
To wipe away his doubt
To save our love true.
From our unseen foe
THE END
