LXXIII

PARAGON:

"I can tell

you're not over him.

For you weren't

the only one.

There's many women

of the king,

Who believed

the lies from his tongue."

LXXIV

Emma only

looked at her hands.

She knew

John James' other damsels.

But this queen fights

for what she stands,

And these hands

denies cold shackles.

LXXV

The Paragon tried

to persuade,

Her emotions,

to him, to turn.

For Emma needs

to feel betrayed,

So trust and honesty

be earned.

LXXVI

PARAGON:

"You are beautiful

and precious.

Only to be fooled

by a man.

And I know

love is dangerous,

With a fooled woman

than a gun."

LXXVII

Dear Emma

raised her head up high.

Dumb,

but she must defend her king.

Her love for him

she can't untie,

If then

she would lose all meaning.

LXXIII

EMMA:

"John James

had told me no such lies.

Just that his truth

is always loose.

But beyond

all of the advice,

I never learn

from all the bruise."
