There are many ladies of Camelot.
None, so well known as she.
Gwenivere, Elaine are beautiful, it is true.
One outshines all of them.
She has many names.
She has been called
lady, queen,
witch and whore.
No one truly knows the whole story.
Through the lies, she kept her grace
being the dutiful wife and mother.
All she wanted was someone
to love and be loved in return.
Lost and alone, sent away
to learn her destiny.
A destiny she forced upon her,
A vessel, she was used and abused.
Tricked by the very person she loved.
The innocent girl turned into a wise woman.
If others could only see
what lie beneath the mask
was simply Morgaine Le Faye.
