Upon
foreign sod she trod,
her
heart is heavy laden.
Betrothed
by time, claimed
by
none, this gentle and fair maiden.
She
treads alone, on new soil
unfamiliar
with worldly ways.
Bitter
lessons stalk her heels,
And
within her being, stays.
Her
past is left in shadows,
Her
future yet untold.
Faltering
footsteps placed upon
A
land barren and cold.
Unrelinquished
love has she.
It
lies as a smoldering fire.
Save
but one, there is no other,
that
can quench her souls desire.
She
rejoices not, from her life,
her
love is not returned.
Each
new day brings heartache,
and
again her love is spurned.
Darkness
lies within her soul,
in
despair she bows her head.
And
dainty footsteps are all that's found,
upon
the cliffs raw edge.
