Agony! by shadowfursona on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Did I abuse her or show her disdain

Why does she run from me

If I should lose her how shall I regain

The heart she has won from me

Agony

Beyond power of speech

When the one thing you want

Is the only thing out of your reach

High in her tower she sits by the hour

Maintaining her hair

Blithe and becoming and frequently humming

A light-hearted air

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

Agony

Far more painful than yours

When you know she would go with you

If there only were doors

Agony

All the torture they teach

What's as intruiging or half so fatiguing

As what's out of reach

Am I not sensitive, clever,

Well-mannered, considerate,

Passionate, charming, as kind as I'm handsome

And heir to a throne

You are everything maidens could wish for

Then why no

Do I know

The girls must be mad

You know nothing of madness

'Till your climbing her hair

And you see her up there

As you're nearing her

All the while hearing her

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

Agony

Misery

Woe

Though it's different for each

Always ten steps behind

Always ten feet below

And she's just out of reach

Agony

That can cut like a knife

I must have her to wife
