Lost in the fog

Alone in the deep

Bound by a promise

That he couldn’t keep

The darkness swept

Across the land

He reached right in

To take her hand

The mark was there

It was too late

The blinders came

Across the gate

He tried to climb

And change their fate

But blackness set in

It was too late

A timeless tear

Came to his eye

a subtle whisper

That said goodbye

The separation

Marked the end

Of a forgotten love

That could not mend
