I Am Leaving
These battles
This war
All my life I bring sadness; despair
My friends are suffering; wounded
My fiancé; tired
Me; confused but determined
This is my battle, my war
And my friends are battling for me
I can't let them do this
They can end up dead
So in order to do right-- I am leaving
So then they won't have to suffer for my so-called sins.
My love, I know this may be hard,
But I must do a selfless act
With me gone from here the war would end
So goodbye...
Because I am leaving

A Melody from a Box
A dance comes alive
A romance never dies
Dreams from my soul still sing to me
Dreams never die

Nobles still dress in frocks so gay
Their chatter plays in my head
About balls once ago and plays
Plays that tell stories untold

The tune, the notes, a musical tone
Where each foot steps to to and fro
This image that I see
Come to me from a box
The song sings to me from a box
A melody from a box

A Desire That Was Long Ago

Without it is raining

Within it is pouring

In within my deep heart

It beats slowly for a missing part

Of a memory I once had

From the dream of Queen Mab

That was long ago

It was full of desires

That to me was dire

For it offers pleasure and forgetfulness

That made me wept with sadness

Of a death

Of a horrifying death

That was long ago

This death took from me

Someone that was to be

My one true love

Who was always above

For he took care of me by and by

Until the day he died

That was long ago

I was devoted

He was devoted

To this love we had

That always made us glad

For we were together

Always together

But that was long ago
