Love and Pain
The love of my life, my other, better half,
is now on the other side, but I will bring back her soul.
This deal with the devil, I have no choice.
I have been given an impossible task, but I will do it.
This grotesque mountain ignores me, as it slowly lumbers by,
and its footsteps shake the very ground beneath my feet.
The instant I pull out my sword,
it is as if the very earth trembles.
This monstrosity begins to regard me with fear,
and attempts to crush me underneath its massive hoof.
As I make a mad dash for the hairy hide of the behemoth,
I give thanks to whatever gods are out there,
that I have this chance to save my beloved.
