When Love Was Sealed

You lie to me and say I'm in your heart
And will be immortalized forever,
A symbol of love that can't break apart
From the fate that brought us together,
But fate is cruel and ensures that I,
A misfit of the world, am doomed to fall
Into the darkness where my weary eyes
Can never see you again, at all _
And yet I bless this fate, though it is cruel,
Because I know the taste of your kiss
And your embrace that soothed this simple fool
Who, before, knew only loneliness:
Though you are gone, my heart is left fulfilled
By moments of the night when love was sealed.
