A forlorn tale of love

"When you give away your heart,

You give away your existence

And perish in the callous infernos of love..."

Why does this ensue,

When love overpowers you?

You are bound to find out,

In this ominous tale of love~

An unsung tale of a young lad

Who fell in love with a maiden once

A maiden whose splendour was cherished

And beauty that was known afar

Such cliched tale of love it was....

She became his ardour

She was the reason of his fervour

When he gazed at her mesmeric face

He forgot the qualms of this dismal place

He thought not about his childishness though

He knew not about his delusion, oh!

For mistaking the sand for water

And forgot about the penalty it holds

The penalty of this unrequited love...

Alas! As warned before

The striking maiden whom he ached for

Had someone else her thoughts

In this tale of wrecked dreams

But what the maiden knew naught

She had fallen for was a being, loathsome

Who had concealed death like a hawk

Within his sinister, noxious wings

Such a fateful tale it was....

Why does not the evil realise?

Shrouded will never be such a misdeed

And the smear of that ruthless sin

Stays internally in the hands of that heinous being

As soon as the maiden was about to be slain

Someone had already reached there

Alas! He could save her naught

And even the heavens cried on the death of those souls

Such a crestfallen tale it was....

However, evil prevails not for long

The lad who knew the evil one

Knew his guilt and his despicable crime

Had returned for vengeance of his love

The death bells began to knoll soon enough

For the time of the villain had reached its end

When smoke of death hovered over him

As he met the same fate as the lovers did

Such was the tale of love and hate....

Though being with her was never written in his fate...
