Lady Death's Lament

How can you decide to hate me

for what I had to do?

You claim I had a choice to make.

I wish that it were true.

Did you think that it was easy,

to carry our love away?

That I wouldn't be torn apart like you;

I loved him just the same.

Does it make you feel any better,

to claim it's a heart I lack?

Well, sweetheart, that's just not true.

It beats for you. It's black.

Like a knife lodged deep, my scar, it throbs,

with all the things unsaid.

I'm sorry we couldn't avoid this,

but what did you expect?

To flirt with death is one thing;

to bargain is another.

Did you think it wouldn't come to this?

Just three of us forever.

I understand why you hate me,

but don't you miss me too?

We can carry this pain together;

I'll lighten the load for you.

Come, lay down your burdens here,

your heartbreak, sorrow, and grief.

You may walk your path alone for now,

but all roads lead to me.
