Benevolent letter
And I breathe again
The memories of my dear maiden's
Hands on me
Sitted by the dark well
Stealing moments of tenderness
Before they term our love
Chaotic
And the next day she stands by the altar
Ready to forever serve her master
As she wipes the tear from her lash
The women laugh and men smile
For they think it is finally happening
But I know my fair maiden weeps inside
As she is sold to her doom
I take in another breathe
Before my eyes shut in sleep
And hope it's my last breathe Before my Maker gives it to another
And takes away my pain
Yet still my soul shall burn in agony
At the thought of my dear dear in slavery
But more at the meeting of our loneliness
But if I die my dear maiden be locked
Not in a dungeon but by my grave's rock
For us to show the intersection of love and death
And show the world we're worth the threat
Please carry my memories at heart
And yours shall salt my path
If destiny to us a new beginning shall grant
We'll finish all our plans
But for now you're still at heart though not at hand
Don't send me more letters of your pain
For I can no longer bear to imagine you in chains
Heavens know how long I fought pain with no gain
That now I give back my breathe to erase this stain
Back that the world may have me slain
