20. Fortitude

I look at the skies and sigh.
Why did this happen to me?
I wish I could have said goodbye.
Was I so blind, too blind to see?

It was going so well.
Why did she have to go?
But then I had to go and yell.
It's only brought me woe.

I guess I might have said some things.
I mean it's not like I meant them...
Going off like that, like them kings.
What now, without my little gem?

Why couldn't she just understand?
All would be different now.
I had figured it out, had it all planned.
If only she could have see how.

And now that she is gone.
I'm here, in this crappy village.
Talking to some John.
For fear of some sort of pillage.

Oh, the cruel, cruel life.
If only I had my wife.
