That girl from Egypt

From the land of the pharaohs
Came a tale of sorrow
As he nursed his heart
As it was torn apart

She sat there all smiles
Oblivious most of the while
There sat the girl from Egypt
Innocent, unassuming

An eclipse of the heart
Shadowed by her warmth
He was taken by her charm
A damning imprint
A cause for alarm

As fate would destine
That she would belong
To a fellow companion
Accept he must…

Inspired by another's tale...
