Her story was one of fear and courage
Her voice soft as thunder
Her eyes bright as anthracite
To her, the world was large and full of mystery
To him, it was simple and fixed
But it all happened too quickly
The seasons changed and all became cold
She seemed distant and removed
And it was then that he realized
That she had been his world
Everything seemed cruel and wrong
As if she had taken away all that was pure and light
In the darkness he remained
Every word he said felt strained
For he lost all that he could have obtained
