Ivy’s Legacy: Part One

A love forged in hate
By cruel and unforgiving fate
A dark mage with dreadful powers
A lady cloaked in dying flowers
Love doomed before it's start
The ray of warmth touched his heart
Surrounded hers with beams of light
Shining through her darkest night
A nonchalant shrug, he turned his head
Making her wish she was dead
Spending her nights all alone
While he roams far from home
Dark powers twist and bend the mind
Making the lady no longer kind
She vowed revenge upon her heart
And upon her love, that great upstart
Studied the arcane by candle light
Summoning creatures of the night
Surpassing her mage in all his work
Drowning in ether to drown her hurt
