Picture from the internet
The day he came
Restless she waited
She longed for the one
With whom she was mated
The night he left
Together they were slated
But duty called first
Before they consummated
He emerged glorious
From the battle field
And stormed to conquer
The one he veiled
He ferociously devoured
The combat at home
Knot they tied together
Entangled him alone
Betrayed his betrothed
Savoured her dreams
He ached as she bled
A curse he grieves
A curse for him-
“To be loved or to love the beloved forever
To loathe to have loved or to be loved forever”
He laid there stained
Loved her no less
His curse, she pertained
United in a deadly embrace.
