The Second Apparition

And she appeared before me
Her breath swept me
She stood still for me to see
And held out her hand for me


How she seemed real
Her face I did feel
My heart she really did steal
Then she became unreal


She then drove a dagger deep
The blade in my heart did seep
And she put me into a cruel sleep
And she left me no space to weep


I am a lost wanderer
She was my heart's murderer
Too much was my love for her
And I loved her a thousand times over


Farewell to thee, surreal maiden
To love I am now forbidden
With grief I am stricken
Like glass, I am molten


I am now devoid of sadness
I am now out of my madness
For now I embrace the darkness
And in my grave I savor happiness.
