No Reprieve Upon foreign sod she trods, 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. Un relinquished 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. * That which gives light, must endure burning * |

Yes, there seems to be no reprieve. You've woven this well, the pain is powerfully shown, the ache too greatly grown. This reader felt the hurt vividly. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |
