Beneath the weeping willow's mournful sigh,
Two hearts converged, though destined to die.
Isabella, a maiden frail and pale,
And Emilian, a love destined to fail.
In a realm where sorrow held its throne,
They met amidst a garden overgrown.
She, a fragile dreamer lost in woe,
He, a poet whose heartache did grow.
In the moon's dim light and whispered air,
They sought solace amid their despair.
Stolen moments, shadowed by distress,
Love's tender bloom, doomed by duress.
In secret rendezvous where shadows cry,
A tragedy unfurled as hearts awry.
A tale of families feuding, hearts in strife,
Their love condemned, to wither,
To die.
With tearful eyes and hearts aching,
They faced a future forsaken.
A vow unfulfilled, a parting of lips,
Love's sweet torment gripped at their fingertips.
Through letters inked with bittersweet words,
They clung to love as fate's grasp stirred.
In hearts ablaze, devotion burned,
A flame smothered, never to return.
Yet destiny played a mournful theme,
A twist that shattered their tender dream.
Isabella's frailty held a dread,
An illness consuming her, unfed.
In Emilian's arms, she did decay,
A love extinguished no dawn's ray.
Their hearts sundered by life's cruel jest,
Love's final plea buried in a chest.
A love that bloomed, but had no chance,
Cut short by fate's merciless dance.
Isabella and Emilian, a tragedy unjust,
A love that turned to ash and dust.
In the garden of despair, they abide,
Two souls forever severed, side by side.
A love story that ended in sorrow's chime,
A tragedy locked in the annals of time.
