It was her deepest fear,

that he would leave

her; thoughts of him

echoed inside her head.

That he would leave

haunted her, mocking,

echoed inside her head.

Reasons why he’d go

haunted her, mocking;

she really didn’t know

reasons, why he’d go;

she just felt her fear.

She really didn’t know

This mistress would come.

She just felt her fear.

He felt nothing.

This mistress would come,

dressed in death’s robes.

He felt nothing

but surrender and acceptance.

Dressed in death’s robes,

this mistress left her little,

but surrender and acceptance

were all that she had left.

This mistress left her little.

Her thoughts of him

were all that she had left.

It was her deepest fear.
