Siobhan

Inspired by Shalott (a song of Emilie Autumn)

Walking in the courtyard
Siobhan found a rose
Look - she said to his guard
But she was all alone

She sat down in the grass
And tried to remember
Last night she was in dungeon
Just she and a little ember

Why was I down there?
She couldn't recall
And then her mind flared
Out of blue all appeared

A shadow covered
The late spring sunlight
A man was standing there
Find me at night

I'll be waiting at the pond
Siobhan couidn't see his face
But she knew this was a bond

She searched for rose
But it vanished
He took it - she thought
But she wasn't anguished

She wanted to see his face
To know who he was
The night came, and she knew
That night there was no laws

He was waiting for her
And the rose, in his hands
For her was like Easter
He gave her the rose

I'm Jasper - he said
I saw you crying forenoon
Don't be afraid
Look up, and look at the moon

She obeyed him
But then she heard Jasper's voice
This was just a dream

She woke up, and she was still in the dungeon. She was alone, in chains, waiting for salvation. Siobhan didn't know, over her head, within the castle walls, there was a war. A war because of her. Jasper was fighting for her.
