So Cold and Withdrawn

So cold and withdrawn, A way to preserve, From misery and pain No man could deserve. Her beauty with charm, Shed light on a crack, With love and persistance Her way of attack. A good year of company, A long year of friendship, A bond now has formed, No force to break or to bend it. Yet comes one fatal day, Her mind how its changed, Now with pain and with misery Is this man now deranged. For so long a heart can bleed, All battered and torn, Now this day again, So cold and withdrawn.
