GABRIELLE'S LAMENT by Whiteshadow

Bluest eyes bespeak words unspoken
Lost in the ethereal mists this heart broken
My love for you shall I never cease to be
My soul unburdened the warrior's path decreed
Younger still this love consumes my very soul
Till you find my light again joined forever whole
This pain burns throughout as I cry in misery
Come back my love don't leave me here find me
Take my hand kiss it softly with your lips
But you have gone a parchment begins to rip
Shorn of the beauty that once was my only purpose
Why have you done this? Enough evil has hurt us
To give your redemption to souls unknown to you
But you take my only reason to continue following through
I cannot bear this pain inside as I remember our sweet ardor
You gave freely to others yet leave me no room to barter
In exchange for their freedom my cost has been my life
Brazen specters release your debt yet steal and replace with strife
You were and are my salvation from whence I came
This young fool am I who fell so deeply without shame
The love of your soul I sit pondering my future black
Rather would I be crucified or the pawn of Dahak
To bear this burden you have placed upon my heart
I cannot see my future without your love where do I start?
Take me back to your arms they shall hold me forever safe
I fear the future tidings without you I shall not find my place
Whence I go and what I become is nothing without your love
You are and shall ever be my other half lighting stars above
I cannot even think without my tears spilling softly down
I cry out in rage, I lash out in anger the earth I begin to pound
Justification replaced my love in your eyes without thought
Of my eternal damnation Japa? See what this has begot?
Anger seeps from my core cast aimlessly amid my world
Grief cries for satisfaction alone it speaks wings unfurled
"I don't care" I said those words truer as the hours pass
You didn't have to be so brave the warrior ways so rash
So come back to me my heart, be whole once more to share
Give to me your existence once more cover me with care
Take my life it is yours eternally I bleed my vows for you
Comfort my angst amid the ocean of your love so true
Love me forever reach out and cover my shameless infatuation
Run with me my heart mend this heartache with loves saturation
