Dangerous, sinister, forbidding and cold.

She put their betrothal on hold.

Left Behind

“mors vincit omnia” (Photo credit: Sinéad McKeown)

Where he kneels as still as death

His grieving face is granite

His tears have turned to ice

Forsaken

Left behind in frozen darkness

With his stone cold broken heart
