Looming Pain

My Love, lest I grow, oh, weary of the wait, And get tangled in a web of hate, Forsaken and forgotten, My cruel Maiden, Save me from pain. Oh, do come, Quell my emotion, With sorrow I sit alone drawing me down into a dire fate, My Love, lest I grow, oh, weary of the wait!

Abdul, thanks so much for trying my new form. I think you did a very good job of it. The middle rhyme word is slightly off, but most importantly, I loved your theme and how you presented it so eloquently. Congrats on your win.
