Bilingual
By the turnstile beckons a damsel fair
ย
The face of Melinda 'neath blackened hair
No joy would flicker in her eyes
Brooding sadness came to a rise
ย
Words would falter to atone
Failure had passed the stepping stone
She sworn her vows to another
This is when no-one will bother
And conceded pain in crumbling mirth
A harlot of God upon the earth
Found where she sacrificed her ways
That hollow love in her face
ย
Still I plotted to have her back
The contentment that would fill the crack
My soul released a fluttering sigh
This day fell, the darkness nigh
ย
I took her by the hand to say
All faith forever has been washed away
I returned for you in great dismay
Come with me, far away to stay
ย
Endlessly gazing in nocturnal prime
ย
She spoke of her vices and broke the rhyme
But baffled herself with the final line
My promise is made, but my heart is thine
ย
