Ophelia's Last Words

When I recall my love as first we met
He seemed a gentleman - heart bold and true.
I know kind men are found where e're, and yet
Hamlet my heart is drawn steadfast to you.

I saw behind your eyes a fiery mind
Your single goal to know the world firsthand.
Your purpose set: to right the wrongs you find
While seated on your throne - king of the land.

But now this man I fear I do not know
Who's slain my dad and taunts me in my shame.
The world around me twists, the winds that blow
Cool down my heart that once was set aflame.

And now this world cannot sustain my life.
The sun must set to usher in the night.
