Melpomene's Melody

Can thou's heart not see
The tragedy 
Can thou's ears not hear 
Melpomene's melody
This is not to end in despairing my lovesome
But to be a lovers tale 
Never to be told by tragedian
Forsaken by thy lover
lovelorn I shall be
Can thou not see 
it is your heart that sings her melody
Do not fear uncertainty
For it is your rib that has created me 
An I who is here to shelter thee
I shall never banish thy to the cold 
For it is your heart that warms me 
Do no forsake me 
I have done thou no misdeed
For banished to purgatory I shall be
Can thou truly not see
This is our tale to be told through out the centuries
Two lovers destine to be
I beg of thee 
Do not let us fall victim to 
Melpomene's melody
For our love undone would be her victory
