Denouement

A fair and frail lady, still childish in thought Was in love with a guy she thought was so awesome So awesome as to be allowed to see her bared heart So awesome that her eyes sparkled whenever she saw him The one who would be the ruler of her kingdom The one who would hold her hand, even when it would not be needed The one whose eyes would be shining brighter than hers For he would see only her, as if she was a blinding angel with golden feathers But then the frail lady came to know that the guy loved her not The guy rebuked her and broke her esteem, and Went on his way with the promises of Earth in his hand The promises that Earth held for him, as pieces of juicy bait While she remained sunken and torn While she remained as a widow, engaged in mourn While she sank in her own dark and gloomy shadows While she slit her wrists, bringing to her dear ones, inconsolable woes The guy came to hear what happened and realized how selfish he had been He even came to see himself as being mean He tried hard but found out each time that he could not bring her back He fought so much with himself, till drugs and alcohol became his life's stock Why, his kin tried so many times to make him smile His peers, sadly, left him to tread on his own mile His doctors wanted to see him cured But it was too late, his rosy life had already been blued Left with his own conscience He waged a battle known to himself He battled with demons and built around his soul, a fence A fence which none could break, a fence with a happy face, meant to be a bluff For none could see his sorry plight None could share his agony None could ever judge him right Rather, they would condemn his pride, his aspired gluttony But then, he could take it no more One winter's night, when the cold was so sore He chose to slit his wrist too There, in the other world, he would see her, this he knew He would apologize For he was now one so wise Why, she would forgive him She had after all, always loved him!
