The Love Forbidding Dungeon-My Love

Tears running down my face, oh how I long to see you, my love.
Your smile, your laugh, anything from you would put me at ease, my love.
In this dungeon, I lay, both alone, and afraid....
Afraid that I may not see you again, my love.

For it's been 8 years, and to my greatest fears, I have been forbidden to leave, my love.
They are watching my every move, my love.
So you see, I cannot escape, my love.
Hence, I must stay here, my love...
But fill not with dismay, my love.
For I intend to make my escape, and I shall return to you, my love.

...

Tears running down my face, oh how I long to see you, my love.
Your smile, your laugh, anything from you would put me at ease, my love.
In this dungeon, I lay both alone, and afraid....
Afraid that I may not see you again, my love.

My escape, you see, was a failure, my love.
To my mishap, they cornered me; it was 5 of them against me, my love.
But do not lose hope, my love.
For I will return, my love.

...

Tears running down my face, oh how I need to see you, my love.
Your presence, your voice, anything from you would ease my pain, my love.
In this dungeon, I lay in my own pain...
The pain that I can't see you again, my love.

Again, my escape was a disaster, my love.
And now they whip me as punishment, my love.
But that pain does not match the agony...
The agony of my not seeing you, my love.
But fear not, for I shall never give up, my love.
For I swear I will return to you, my love.

...

The quiet night is shattered by my screams, demanding to let me return to my love.
"Why wont you let me see her; the girl of that I hold dear," I cry.
It's been 10 years! It's madness! I demand to return to her!
I cry her name between my staggered breaths of pain... So be it...
Do what you want with me... Just don't you dare lay a hand on my love.

...

The smell of blood tainting the air, and the cold tears streaming from my eyes...
It seems that I have failed you, my love.
For I have no chance of ever seeing you again, my love.
In this dungeon, I lay in both pain, and my blood...
Yes, that's right... I'm dying, my love.

Please do not cry, my love.
For I will watch over you from above, my love.
Do not think I've left you for another, my love
I want you to know that I'll always be with you, my love.

Oh how I wished to see you once more, my love.
I am sorry it ended this way, my love.
And that I couldn't keep my promise, my love.
Oh how it pains me to leave you like this, my love.

What also pains me is that you may forget me, my dear.
But please do not forget me; that is my one true fear.

But if you are to forget, at least do this if nothing else:
Live on and be happy... even if it means you being with another.

Please forgive me for not returning, my love.
Perhaps in another life, my love,
We will yet again fall in love.
Until then, we must part, my love.
Just remember... you're the only one I love.

...

Tears drying on my face, it looks like this is it my love.
The other side calls for me; from behind that golden gate, my love.
No more will I be trapped in this dungeon of pain...
I can now watch you from above, my love.
