Courtship of the Beguiled

I canceled my death for you a postponement on the inevitable the choice had come I could have walked away but all things considered and considering how much I love you I chose to stay This decision has had its price for to relinquish life meant I would reunite and to remain would surely break my heart but I am no martyr I do not wish to hang myself upon some bleeding thorn but to your sorrows alter impart my faith In you Yes I know you are broken and in auspicious form so bitterly hidden to reap your tears shall bring to low your hearts desires and in the garments of lies hang you so with all your fears until, until you praise them This courtship of the beguiled plenary to your sanction would seek heroins and heroes such as you to free yourselves and may such honor find itself impromptu in such stalwart souls ambition to impart your faith In others
