Marlene and William

*Marlene*
There she stood on the balcony
The wind blowing through her hair
The moon shining down upon her
And her tears fell, as silent and cold,
As the diamonds they were
Regret and loose coursed through her
She regretted so much and lost so much more

From below can be heard the clattering of horses hooves
And from the balcony she stands and watches
As the only man she ever truly loved
Rode away from her into the coming storm
On the back of his demon steed

She lost him as a result of her own foolishness.
And there she stands,
Alone on her balcony listening to the wind howl,
Crying silent tears of shame and regret,
Knowing she can never have him back,
And that nothing will ever be the same again.



*William*
A storm is in blowing in.
He can feel its power.
He knew she watched him from her balcony
The traitorous woman!
How he longed to give himself over to the power of the storm!
Maybe then he could stop feeling the white hot flames of betrayal on his heart.

He gave his love freely,
He unwillingly devoted his every waking thought & countless dreams to her…
And after all this she betrayed him?!

How could he then, after all she had done to him,
How could he love her still with every beat of his broken, betrayed, heart?
Even now!  As he rode away from her & the pain
He longed to turn back, forgive her every transgression
And again love her like nothing ever happened….
Like she hadn't’t betrayed him with another

But he kept on and never looked back
for he knew that if he did his will would fail him and he would return to her arms.
And that he could not do!
For his own self respect and pride he could not, would not go back to her

He could live without her, he knew he could
Well, he figured he had to at least try
Love for her still coursed through his veins
But only time would heal the wound she had inflicted upon his heart
And only time would tell if he would return to her.
