A Cursed Love
A dance of death
Two lovers stuck in a trance
Their hearts were forbidden
But they chose to walk the tightrope of chance
Once happy
Seeing each other from afar
Now in despair
Only inches apart
What curse could cause such misery
Only a witch with a black heart
Could cast a spell so wretchedly terrible
To freeze, in time, Cupid's dart
The witch was very bitter
Being wrongfully accused
Of aiding a traitorous victim
And putting her powers to misuse
She cried in a loud voice
Upsetting the king's heart
"Your heir can never kiss his true love
Lest they be frozen apart!"
The curse was felt in the queen's womb
Her newborn son was now affected
A storm brewed as the king's anger grew
And the witch was forcefully ejected
The queen grew weary of worry
She died while giving birth
The king, in agony, raised the child alone
Making sure the son heard the frightful curse
Over time the curse was forgotten
As the child grew into a man
He was handsome and sweet and started to fall
For an equally beautiful woman
He courted her both night and day
Sending flowers and thoughtful gifts
She also started to fall in love
And one night they met on Lovers Cliff
We know the fateful cause
That kept these two lovers distanced
And they ruined a good thing
By choosing not to listen
After he courted her with sweet poems
And soft music was heard from the town
She looked into his eyes and he in hers
As the distance between their lips was shortened now
A soft and warm kiss
Was placed upon her lips so fair
Beams of light then shone from their skin
As the curse ripped them apart in despair
Their faces were so close
As the magic engulfed them whole
They couldn't move a muscle
As the lovers paid the witches toll
Such an agonizing pain
Of seeing the one you love
Being so close you could feel his breath
But being as far as the stars above
Never to break the chains again
They waltzed the dance of death
