Once there lived a woman
Whom life wasn't fair
She fell madly in-love
A man beyond her reach

She ran away
Thinking her heart would forget
Time will heal
And yet it didn't

She would sing songs
Few would hear
"She's a fairy" they'd say
But only knew pieces of the story

Her songs of love
Her mind broke
It comforted her
A mirror of secrets

It too would betray
It killed her hopes
Her life began to wither
And her heart became cold

He underneath the same moon
Happy in his voice
Songs in her throat
The one he betrays her with

Hatred is all she felt
As she paced the floor
Her thoughts of what next
Time began to stand

"He's meant for more
Not to betray a king
He's meant for justice"
She cries

She opens her window
Throws out the reflected secret
Through tears
She watches it shatter

Quickly her mind races
The next move
A fatal thought
It's time

Quickly she climbs
Up the stairs
On the roof
It's time

She wipes her tears
Takes one last ragged breath
Stares at the ground
Jump

Her mind is clear
Her heart is stopped
Broken
Time continues

A strange smile rests
Her eyes closed
Peaceful now
As he looks on his mistake

Why must one die
For the other to realize
This, my friend
The story of Lance and his Laine
