Untold
A story must be told or there'll be no story, yet it is the untold stories that are most moving. ~ J.R.R. Tolkien
Whose woes wooed me woefully
and banefully banished my love?
Let me be,
I’ll tell this tale
Some other time.
With all my longing long gone
and heart hurting heartily…
Let me be,
I’ll tell this tale
Some other time.
Destiny ditched me dearly
and life left me in a lurch…
Let me be,
I’ll tell this tale
Some other time.
Squall submerged my ship
and sunk me silently out of sight...
Let me be,
I’ll tell this tale
Some other time.
With friends fostering foes
and loved ones lying low…
Let me be,
I’ll tell this tale
Some other time.
Who broke my heart heartlessly
and troubled my tranquility?
Amid a group of gossipmongers
Goad me not…
I’ll tell this tale
Some other time.
If I tell this all-telling tale
you’ll be named in naming of names...
So, let it be,
I’ll tell this tale
Oh well, some other time!
