In Due Time

Michael: My dear, I love you.... you know that I do.

Carmen: Of course I know and I love you too.

Michael: I reminisce of the old days when we gazed at the stars….

Carmen: Yes, it seems distant as you lay in my arms.

Michael: My dear are you happy... with the way things turned out?

Carmen: I'm unsure, but it's too late to have any doubt.

Michael: Was this your plan from the day we were wed?

Carmen: To love you and hold you is what I had said.

Michael: Please do tell... this unseemly demise, am I someone whom you truly despise?

Carmen: Despise? Oh no, you're the love of my life. I meant every word when I declared as your wife.

Michael: Then why, oh why did you pierce my heart so?

Carmen: In your last moments you needn't to know.

Just know it's a victory I'll keep to myself.

In place of a child who had called out for help.

Attempting to fathom, you needn't to bother.

I'm sorry you've paid for the sins of your father.

Michael: I'm afraid it's the end... Will I remain in your heart? I hope as years pass this will tear you apart—

Carmen: Oh my dear, I'm sure that it will. Many times I'd hoped time would stand still.

However. No matter, it's the path I have chosen

I'll remain trapped in the web that I've woven.

But truly this remains such a heartbreaking sight

I wish you farewell dear, and a final goodnight.
