For His Love

Her soul rose

As mine shattered.

She is his world;

I should have known.

She might be wicked,

But she's just a maiden,

Petals crinkled but still intact.

/

I must smile at them,

Pretend my heart isn't in two.

They can never know,

They can never know that behind my radiant smile

Is a soul aching

For his love.
