Lady of the Mist by ~ShadowWolf3117:iconShadowWolf3117:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Human Nature > Ballad


She walks there through
The curling fog
Her heart as cold as ice.
Who would have thought
Such darkness lay
Behind a mask of light?

Though she will not love
I can love her still
Though I cannot touch her
I long for her still
Though she ne’er will again
Share e’en a single kiss
I will help her, love her still
My lady of the mist.

Her heart is trapped
Deep within
The armor of the mind
And she must learn
The sacrifice
Is the taste of love’s lament

She can justify
Her every thought
emotional defenses set
But she cannot truly
Know that which
Against she defends herself.

Though she will not love
I can love her still
Though I cannot touch her
I long for her still
Though she ne’er will again
Share e’en a single kiss
I will help her, love her still
My lady of the mist.

I love her so
And she loves me not
But that shall not daunt me
For it is not
Her love I seek
A treasure I do not want
No!

I shall chip away
The barrier
Crack open the stone
To reveal
The gem within
The beauty of her heart

And to you, young man
That find this stone
I envy thee this
For you have found
The treasure of
The lady of the mist.

Untouchable as the fog
Beautiful as the night
Emotionless as the darkest stone
Yet loving as the dawn

Her heart of steel
Shall melt one day
And that day shall be one of bliss
But until that day
She escapes me so
My lady of the mist
                  (Lady of the mist)

Though she will not love
I can love her still (love her still)
Though I cannot touch her
I long for her still (long for her still)
Though she ne’er will again
Share e’en a single kiss (single kiss)
I will help her, love her still
My lady of the mist. (My lady of the mist)

My lady of the mist
         (My lady of the mist)

Author's Comments

I wrote this about a friend of mine, one that confuses me greatly. I won't say her name or her screenname, and people who know who it is, please don't say it. I'm sure she'd rather not be identified.

But to you, lady of the mist, This is how i feel. Dramatized slightly, but I'm sure you can understand that.


I picture the music to this being acoustic, with quiet drum beats and a flute coming in here and there. Influence from Blackmore's Night (Village on the Sand), and Nightwish's Over the Hills and Far Away.

There's another way this song could be played, more energetically and with an electric guitar. I dunno which i like more, but that's heavily influenced by Gackt- Redemption.

You're very welcome.
Well, I'd feel rather special if a nice guy was writing this beautiful poem for me. -shrugs- I think she's lucky that you care so much about her.

Wow, that would be so beautiful to hear.
It is an amazing and powerful piece. A lot of tenderness behind those words.
Great job.
