Mary Morstan from the point of view of Sherlock.
Oh Mary...part two
Oh Mary, you have stepped beyond
My wildest calculations;
I truly had not quite foreseen
Such lethal complications.
You hid your past so expertly;
I saw the clues but did not see
Your moves outstrip so easily
My wildest calculations.
~0~
Oh, Mary, when we met, there was
No need for introductions;
I saw you, and of course observed,
And made some swift deductions.
From cats to appendectomy,
And one tattoo placed secretly,
And bread and lies, intriguingly;
No need for introductions.
~0~
Oh Mary, when I first appeared,
You understood so clearly
That I must be the ghost, returned,
Who'd cost my friend so dearly.
You gauged the scene so perfectly,
The sheer impossibility
Was swept aside so speedily;
You understood, so clearly.

Oh Mary, on that frantic night
When John was placed in danger,
You read then cracked the code so fast
When texted by a stranger.
You acted singlemindedly,
We saved him, Mary, thankfully;
Made quite a team, instinctively,
When John was placed in danger.
~0~
Oh Mary, then the game moved on
To vows, a ring, a wedding,
And wedding plans, a lesser brain
Could see where this was heading.
The best man's role bestowed on me;
A speech and fuss and frippery;
Uncharted waters flowing free
To vows, a ring, a wedding.
~0~
Oh Mary, an eventful day
When you and John were married;
A meal, a dance, a final speech
The secret fears you carried.
A murder plot, surprisingly,
And news that one and one made three;
A vow I made wholeheartedly
When you and John were married.
~0~
Oh Mary, as these thoughts invade
This silent space between us,
You know that John is out of reach,
You know he has not seen us.
Your mask is down, while steadily
Your loaded gun is trained on me;
You'll have to cross, incisively,
This silent space between us.
~0~
Oh Mary, I can see your eyes,
You act with calm precision;
The choice I hoped you would not make;
A cold and stark decision.
Your aim is checked painstakingly,
You squeeze the trigger carefully,
Each moment, an eternity.
You act with calm precision...
