A Tale of Immortal Love Part Iii

But working too much made him weary, He suddenly wanted a family, Though the right woman he could not find- But the one he left behind. And so he went home rightaway, Rushing his feet, hoping to see, The woman that he then ignored, Thinking it’s time to make a move. But the heart that yearned was already late For Janet had already left Into a place nobody knew Like wind that shunned the morning dew. He longingly tried to find Janet But Janet was nowhere to find, Not even her closest friends Knew where Janet went. And when they finally met again The hand of Janet was already taken, His mind was numb, his body was shaking, His soul has bled, his heart was aching. But there was no other to blame, It was his fault, his fault again, He was so dumb to leave a diamond For he was so engrossed to find a gold. And so he spent the years that came Waiting and waiting for Janet’s return, But Janet was so really gone, Her freedom was not to his command. The man Roger was so lonely, He missed his Janet everyday, Until the dreadful news had come That Janet was forever gone. Janet was forever gone to paradise Crossing the wild river of no return, Her lovely face would not be seen again For years and years and years to come. The heart of Roger was hurt again, He was so lonely beyond compare, For he could not fathom the sadness That Janet felt for all those years.
