Ardent Allegiance

The future now seemed to be so dark and bleak
Why, always had she been one, in love, so weak
Always had she surrendered
Always had she adhered

Yet, it had come with no surprise
That, as from then, no more was she to be a prize
Even if, being a Goddess
She had been with beauty, blessed

Love had chosen not her side
Love had willed her to be as she wants to
That she needed no more to abide
That, now she was free to meet with the new

Heart broken, she had hidden her tears
Pain stricken, she had given in to her fears
Pretending to be stoic and strong
She had chosen to leave his throng

Now, away from the one whom she had loved for so long
She vowed to perform, always, for his sake, a sad love song
Even if such would never reach his soul
For around himself, he had built, a strong wall

One made of sensual pleasures
One made of quenched desires
One which included not her being
One which was for her, mortifying!

Still, she would love, even if in total solitude
She would love and she would keep herself prude
Her heart and soul was one so pure
In her abandoned love only did she feel so secure

Pray, she was also laden with hope
Should she someday need to forgive
To the building of a new tomorrow she would grope
For after all, being out of love did cause her to grieve

She believed in her lover's good intentions
She knew, in him, somehow, an angel slept
She would wait, in darkness, for both of their redemptions
Such, she knew would be, when Cupid's doze would be disrupt!

Meanwhile, she shall water the rose in her heart
The rose which had been a token of their love
The rose, whose tending remained a must
As it would be that which would keep her brave!
