A soul unclad A crime it was to me, indeed. She left me not a ..., love doth bleed. We became to one another known well one day A gift of aid to one, I'd say, which Led to a caring, mocking love, not long lived. A glimmer of soft magic made her eyes brazen, left To the tragic ending as one of us cries. She married once, to a boy I knew, A friend I thought, which wasn't true. A child thereof came and then an end. During it all a 'romance' she did crave And chose for herself a lowbrow, the naif. She oft feigned a love for me, Her intent, not lucid, I cannot see. It came upon me this midnight eve That true loth doth never come and Love for us is ever gone. Dreams, hopes and passions I once had Can now be forgotten and my soul unclad. -------------------------------------------------------- / / /__,_ _ o ____ /_ __. __ /_) (_
