Yeah... it's a halfway decent poem on my favorite pairing-that-wasn't. Have fun!

The moment I saw you I was smitten
Your beauty was unrivaled in the hall of your king
I long to hold you
I yearn to taste your lips
And yet you do not love me

You want me to think you are as cold as ice
That you do not need love to survive
I know you better than that, my dear
I know that you are lonely
I would take the solitude away

You cast a hateful look at me
But I know you will be mine soon
When darkness overtakes the land
(And darling, I assure you, it will)
You will succumb to me

I saw the way you looked at him
He cannot return your love
For your love is in vain
Mine is not
You do not love me but you will, someday

Your love for him is true
But so is mine for you
And before you reject me again, my princess,
I want to ask you this:
How is my love so different?

Can we all have a FLOOB for darling Grima? huh?
