Tonight the stars shine dim, I heard from a distance
A wailing dying scream, I ran to where it came from
And found a woman crying,
soaking in crimson red blood, dying.
I cradled her in my arms, Knowing I can't do anything.
As the candle-lit lamp slowly die, I mourned for her and I cried.
“ Woman “ I said,
“ Let me be your crying shoulder at your last moment, I shall not depart from you
'til your last breath.”
She told me everything,
and revealed to me her bitter fate.
Though at that moment I was a stranger, I saw in her eyes fear and anger.
“ It all happened last summer where the meadows are green
and the valley's filled with precious flowers. Everything's perfect.
But it all shattered as the winter froze the waters
and the flowing rivers.”
I never understand what she meant.
I never knew what she felt.
But as her cries turned to sob,
and her eyes lit with hope,
I realized that she and I are the same.
Both our fates & dreams vanished
and turned back to the realm of
cruel reality.
She's just like any ordinary woman
who loves and wanted to be loved.
She found Love, but alas, her poor fragile
heart couldn't handle the pain
of loving someone.
She loved him deeply; He liked her.
Poor little lady, was blind and bound
with the chains of love.
Minutes passed, but it felt like hours
As she, my poor lily of the valley,
Poured her heart out.
I slowly and painfully knew how cruel love treated her.
I called her that way, for her fragile heart
grew silently unnoticed.
He was a dashing debonair.
But no one knew, his heart's as black as the silhouette of the night.
She found him, He found her.
She believe it was LOVE, Or is it?
He gave her gifts and flowers.
But my lady never knew what would
befall on her.
And soon enough, they're engaged.
At this moment, her breathing slowed
and it's hard for her to speak.
But still, she poured every pain and sorrow out of her heart.
Winter season started, their marriage's set.
