As we left our miserable lives, we came together.
He mourned for a wife who killed herself,
And she made it look like a potions accidents.
I mourned the boyfriend I loved,
He ran off with he daughter of a village tramp.
But, when Xeno, my second love, died with me in his arms,
His wife was waiting for us when we awoke.
Sobbing freely, she said words that cut so deep:
"The two of you deserve each other, your relationship is one of misery and sorrow."
She left us then, and we went on our solemn way.
Together, we watched his daughter's wedding day.
She was married among the falling snow, in her mother's wedding dress.
And afterwards, carringy a bouquet of roses,
She laid a rose upon his grave and walked away.
There was nothing more to be said.
