He was a charming poet
who carved her with bravery
and strength to beat her fret
thus let go of lingering misery

He was everything she asked for:
if only he did not walk out the door
hence she could stop longing in vain
that cursed herself into a villain

He was no more than a passer-by
who left with no good bye,
as she desperately dug grave hole
after reaping another bleeding soul
