Love to the Grave
A stable boy had entered in her heart
Concealed beneath the forage hay at night
His troubling eyes that seemed so dim and dark
Her hands tease through his hair so wavy rich
But he’s a stable boy and can’t compete
Though royal blood does course within her veins
False statements will protect her noble name
What scents of horses in the air suggest
A secret meeting in the barn required
The opposition banish him from her
Affluent family removed love she found
Now she’ll just marry the rich boy down town
It’s a happy life silk dresses for her
But his name and memories still remain
Length of time has passed and her heart grows cold
Crying out for him everyone’s aware
Knowing he hears her utterance of cries
Homecoming at her bedside love he brings
Carries her as their souls unite once more
Inescapable love was theirs always
Lastly they breathe their last breaths together
Entangled ghosts depart as they exhale
Departing to the hills of misty skies
Within safety and no separation
To the barn where their first encounter met
