Rain pattered on that summer day,
Children danced their worries away,
Birds took solace in the tree's shadow,
As two hearts met in the secret meadow.
Snow layered on that wintry day,
Footmen tried to keep wilds at bay,
Yet, the young maiden crossed the escrow,
To find him with another in their meadow.
Smoke blazed on that spring day,
Soldiers carried the accused away,
The young man watched the freakshow,
The killer of thousands, his ex-beau.
Love with the power to heal,
Love that carries a golden plaque,
No one would've thought,
It would only take a broken heart,
To create a maniac.
