Duchess

Love story

Soft canvas stood in place
Stroke after stroke the white is erased
Radiant beauty at its best
Sat the duchess facing west
A warm smile, tender grace
Inside my body does my heart race
Admiring her elegance, studious poise
Deep down the hall was heard a faint noise
From behind closed doors the Duke had entered
Back on the painting my focus was centered
A smile once wide and eyes once warm
Slid away when tears had started to form
Never approving of her gentle care
Was the horrible burden she was to bare
Forever did I love thee
My heart was a lock and she was the key
From me she was stolen, the life we could've had
The loneliness and desperation made me go mad
The painting, one painting was all I had left
But even that was subjected to theft
The day she died was the day my soul left me
Hidden behind curtains she will never be free

I really like this piece! "Forever did I love thee
My heart was a lock and she was the key"
Those lines really stood out to me when I read them :) Good work
