FAIR LADY


Oh, why do you doubt me so, Fair Lady, when I'd wait a thousand years to hear you sigh, and die a thousand deaths if one tear you did waste on such an unworthy person as I.
When your tender eyes fell upon me through the garden, I felt my heart die, then resurrect itself to get one last look.
But, I fear you are right, Fair Lady, when you lament that love cannot live but in a perfect world.
But surely…when two hearts are as bound together as ours…love will hold us above this imperfect world, until love, itself, no longer exists.

~ Angela Erin Burke ~

Nice work.What if love didn't exist? What a
sad world this would be.

This is absolutely beautiful. It flows from the tongue and pours out from the heart. The ONLY change I'd make is to add a question mark at the end of the first sentence.

EXCELLENT! Keep up the good work.
