As she slowly read the notice,
Her eyes they quickly filled,
We regret we must inform you,
Your fiancé was sadly killed.
His ship had sunk across the water,
The powder kegs had blown,
The blast that killed her love,
Had left her all alone.
She gazed upon the ocean.
Standing alone she softly wept.
Another life filled promise,
That never would be kept.
She remembered the day he left her.
The promises they had made.
Just a year he would be gone,
His debts would all be paid.
From the cliffs she looked out,
No longer could she wait,
We'll be together always,
She'd join her true love's fate.
With a final breath,
Please answer Lord, my prayer,
The rocks below await her,
As she leapt into the air.
A thunderous clap,
And the ship ablaze,
The hold afire,
A burning maze,
He had to make it,
A promise made,
His one true thought,
As he began to wade,
His ship was quickly sinking,
The crew most burned or dead,
Just one thought he held to,
That filled his weary head.
I made a vow,
To my future wife,
I would make it home,
And begin our life.
With hold on wreckage,
To bolster him,
He would cross the water,
And began to swim.
He swam for miles,
For days it seemed,
Though pain he suffered,
Of her he dreamed.
Across the water he swam,
Not knowing how,
He could see the cliffs,
It was not far now
And there she was,
It could not be,
Upon the cliffs,
“She waits for me”.
But he finally gave up swimming,
No longer did he care,
He sank below the surface,
When she leapt into the air.
