a/n: A further look at the third series of BBC Sherlock, and Mary's role in it. This time, from the point of view of Mrs Hudson.
Sherlock and companions do not belong to me.
Wishing the amazing Lucy36 a very happy birthday:-)
Oh Mary ...part three
Oh, Mary, when we met, I thought,
"Just what the doctor needed".
He sank to depths I can't describe;
All pleas, all help unheeded.
You seemed so fresh, so trouble free,
You talked and smiled so charmingly,
You held his hand so tenderly;
Just what the doctor needed.

Oh Mary, as the weeks passed by,
You earned my deep affection.
Though John still mourned, and I still mourned,
You forged a strong connection.
You showed him that the world could be
A brighter place, eventually;
He'd lost that hope before, you see;
You earned my deep affection

Oh Mary, Sherlock's shock return,
Which left John Watson reeling,
Was tempered by your presence, dear,
And reinforced my feeling
That threads entwined; one, two and three
Stand fast against adversity,
And heal those hurts, so patiently,
Which left John Watson reeling.

Oh Mary, all those wedding plans!
Anticipation rising,
And Sherlock caught in best man schemes
Of your's and John's devising.
You found your place quite seamlessly,
Accepted Sherlock cheerfully,
You understood him perfectly;
Anticipation rising.

Oh Mary, such a wedding day;
Unique and so delightful.
A murder plot discussed mid-speech;
Intriguing and insightful.
Your vows were made so earnestly,
Your best man played so movingly,
You danced with John so gracefully;
Unique and so delightful.

Oh Mary, now the bright lights fade;
No Happy Ever After.
No wedded bliss, no steadfast team,
No joy, no careless laughter.
Your past remains a mystery,
A grim and painful history,
Which blights you now, relentlessly;
No Happy Ever After.
~0~
Oh Mary, I'm still fond of you,
Though trust, alas, has ended.
Your choices and betrayal led
To deeds you'd not intended;
You wounded almost fatally
A man who would with certainty
Protect you to the last degree,
Though trust, alas, has ended.
