Poem
A love match perfect until the truth won out she was a natural imp and a gifted daughter of nature he was a darkling with mortal appearance to try and gain what wasn't his he tried to cast her into the flame she forgave time and again until the rope tightened around her throat and he watched her strangle; until Death came and claimed her hand, Death untied the knot and let her softly land what the darkling had toyed and destroyed now had protection of an ancient guardian no matter the life she led broken mind to hide from a heart she walked away loving him the cruelty in his eyes had destroyed her from within money had become his passion his truest love he made his choice of stone stealing her voice and turning cold cloth of green and coins his preferred loves the flesh and blood woman he turned away forgetting how her smile made his heart sway Forgetting how it felt to hold her tight the way she smiled when he leaned in the doorframe watching her as she wrote a poem with a passionate light he forgot all the moments he had once treasured In a moment of pain and of anger she let her mind break the facts of the past destroyed with the flames of mistrust she hides precious moments in her heart of hearts her treasures that give both happiness and despair but protects her heart from the things that will never be able to be repaired the friendship lost the long talks that are still yearned for but are never to be always a someday always a maybe but truly will never come to pass for the love once there now lies under a willow with a stone that reads "Hanged 1668" unforgiven as he had accused her Now haunted as she remembers what he had hidden in her pocket a pendant carved a heart with a star within the other side the words in Gaelic Mo Ghaol "My Beloved" as he had seen her from afar and had fallen in love until she was poor and he turned her away shutting a door then the past replayed the lesson to protect her from feeling the same fate as before.
