So, this is a poem I wrote for Sparrabeth. It's from Elizabeth's POV (obviously). I hope you all like it. I worked really hard on it.

When we first met, you saved me from a fate I couldn't ignore
But then right after that, you made me more scared than before
Your cleverness and charm immediately started an attraction
Then I remembered I had a man who I though was satisfaction
You escaped for a little while, whether from me of from the guards
But I recalled that tingling sensation I felt while in your arms
We met again and we were alone, even if for a little while
You bewitched me with your crazy actions and your devious, smirking smile
My head was telling me that these feelings should not go on
But when I drove you crazy, you made me see that it was wrong
When it was over I remembered the other man I knew
And kissed him, trying to convince myself that I did not need you
I almost married him, but something else got in the way
Then they mentioned your name-back to haunt me on that day
The other man then left, trying to save me from the noose
But his courage, strength, and bravery I knew was just no use
I sprung from my cell, where I thought of you the whole time
My head had told me not to listen to this heart of mine
Then I set off to find you-telling myself it was for him
My head told me any other circumstance would be a sin
When I found you, my heart reminded me of how much I loved you so
But then there goes my head-saying these feelings have to go
I was reminded of your deceiving, despicable, lying ways
Inside I know you're a good man and it still leaves me amazed
In your own way, you ask me for my hand and I deny it
My head tells me, "Way to go", my heart says, "You should've tried it"
And all the while, my head says it's for the other man
My heart tries to say "It's not" in every way it can
Then we meet him, I kiss him, and hear my heart say,
"Why are you kissing a man you don't love in any way?"
My heart and head confuse me so; I don't know what to do
Then, in an act of desperation, I pull you in and kiss you
My heart cheers me on, my head screams, "This just won't do!"
As a result of my frustration, I decide to just kill you
I leave like nothing's happened-doesn't matter a bit to me
My head says, "Good for you", my heart cries, "Why can't you see?"
My heart keeps pounding louder, making me regret it
My head tries to reassure me by saying, "Just forget it"
Tears keep pouring down-my face is wet with guilt
The other man says something that breaks down the walls I'd built
He looks at me and asks, "Do you want to bring him back?"
I reply, "Sure, why not?", trying so hard not to crack
I risk life and limb just to bring you back to me
Inside I am screaming- for my head and heart disagree
There you are-a smile comes to my lips when I see you
And running up and kissing you is all I want to do
But I don't want him to know that I love you more than him
Because if I had to tell him, I wouldn't know where to begin
And then you act as if you don't love me anymore
I am confused-but then remember I had killed you just before
You're distant, hardly speaking-it's killing me inside
But I comfort myself by knowing I am by your side
After a while it gets better, you speak to me again
And the arguments continue between my heart and my head
You're greedy, selfish, and rude-so why do I trust you?
All the while I just want hold you and ask, "Must you?"
Then I do something stupid and marry the other man
Wanting to be freed of this misery-is it the only way I can?
I can't believe I just did that, Darling, tell me it's a dream
I pretend to be happy, smiling, though inside I want to scream
You go and do a more heroic thing then you've ever done before
My head could care less, but my heart loves you even more
I know I will want you for as long as I will live
But I follow my head this time and give myself to him
He sails away from me, not to return for but ten years
I stand all alone, and you're not here to wipe my tears
My heart tells me I still love you, and that it will go on
My head tells me I don't, and if I did it would be wrong
Now I sit by myself, feeling my hopes and dreams fade
Knowing I'm being punished for the mistakes I've made
My heart beats faster, calling you, but my head won't listen
I have to keep telling myself to go on like you never existed
