• The Girl Who Waited Too Long

    By: Xx_PiNkiEZ_xX


    She was beautiful, she was intelligent, she was deeply in love,
    with a man that he met with the mysterious silk glove.
    He loved her as much as he loved the morning light,
    That's when he decided that being with her would fortunately be right.

    Soon after their marriage
    he said he have to go to war
    to fight for his country's freedom
    and he will forever miss her more

    The girl replied "I will be ok,
    go to war and promise me that you too will be ok"
    and that's the last time she saw him face to face,
    he left on a ship, leaving no trace...

    And so, she waited, waited, waited.
    --the girl who waited too long.

    Days, months, and years went by,
    she looked out the window, and at those times she would cry
    she wondered about the numerous attacks,
    but mostly he wished that he would come back.

    Then, the notice arrived that the war was won,
    but there were many deaths that came upon,
    when she opened a letter that mentioned her husband,
    she found that he died, all the times that she cried...
    and the only thing left was that bloody silk glove.

    She waited, waited, waited,
    --the girl who waited too long...

    Years past, isolated in her lonely room,
    the winter snow shivered her breaking bones,
    she raised the picture of her long gone love,
    that last tear trickled down her wrinkled cheek,
    she closed her eyes, took a deep breath,
    and knew she would once again be with him, forever

    the girl who waited too long.
