   By the turnstile beckons a damsel fair
  The face of Melinda neath blackened hair
  No joy would flicker in her eyes
  Brooding sadness came to a rise
  
  Words would falter to atone
  Failure had passed the stepping stone
  She had sworn her vows to another
  This is when no-one will bother
  
  And conceded pain in crumbling mirth
  A harlot of God upon the earth
  Found where she sacrificed her ways
  That hollow love in her face
  
  Still I plotted to have her back
  The contentment that would fill the crack
  My soul released a fluttering sigh
  This day fell, the darkness nigh
  
  I took her by the hand to say
  All faith forever has been washed away
  I returned for you in great dismay
  Come with me, far away to stay
  
  Endlessly gazing in nocturnal prime
  She spoke of her vices and broke the rhyme
  But baffled herself with the final line
  My promise is made but my heart is thine
