The Lovers

She was beautiful,
And I, strong.
I was brave,
And she could do no wrong.
Our love was strong and true
As deep and calm
As the ocean blue.
Alas, our love was not meant to last
Before she had to face her past.
A vengeful lover was he,
And while not strong,
He was smarter than me.
And he took away her life 
And left mine full of strife.
And so they took my love away
Only, and only to cure my pain
I had to salvage what remained.
So once more I had her by my side,
My beauty,
My love,
My life,
And my bride.
