Rue by Melina Raven Maness DieboldA fair-skinned beauty of misfortune born
seeks for and searches for some escape
from her tormentor's grasp and constant rape
but through such pain her will is rightfully torn
This sad existance leaves our lady sad, forlorn
a life of which others can't relate
save only though of a poor twin fate
for this universal tragedy one can only mourn
Yet perhaps, there is a cure in love
if indeed it can be found
(and for mercy let that be true)
One can send prayers to the One above
and hope he can hear its sound
else this poor girl will forever rue 11/04/2002 Author's Note: another sonnet attempt
