Oh Cruel Girl
Oh cruel girl, with eyes of darkest blue,
Thou hast destroyed a heart that loved thee true.
With thy sweet words and gentle touch,
Thou hadst ensnared me, oh how much!
But now, alas, my heart doth ache,
For thou hast cast me in the lake,
Of sorrow, pain, and deep despair,
And left me drowning in thy snare.
Thy beauty, once my heart's delight,
Is now a cruel and bitter blight.
Thy voice, once music to my ears,
Now echoes with my bitter tears.
But yet, despite the pain thou hast caused,
I cannot help but love thee still.
For though my heart be broken, lost,
My love for thee doth live until
I join the silent, dark abyss,
My love for thee will never miss.
