This was a challenging idea brought about by a friend of mine. Here's how it turned out.
-For Love or Country-
That day, so long ago
When the kingdom suffered such a blow
I remember your touch
The feelings I felt then were too much!
I must now wear the mantle of queen,
But what of love?
Is it so obscene?
Is there no hope for my heart in the sky above?
One day, perhaps by fate
Our love may become real
Why must we wait
To truly show how we feel?
It is unbecoming to act in such a way
For I know it can never be.
However, over my heart,your embrace does weigh.
Can you not see?
To rule?
Or to feel such a miraculous thing?
Such a choice is too cruel!
For my happiness, only this forbidden love can bring.
Words describe not
The terrible turmoil with which my heart aches
When I think that still, that which I've sought
Is out of reach; thus my soul quakes
Forgive me, my love
For my crown I cannot denounce
And though duty may appear above
Our love, I proudly announce!
R+R!!
