Life Without Love

She paid her respects to the maven as she worshiped in a manner most graven.
Her prayers were sublime, while she looked for a sign with an offering placed in a basin.
Hands held to her chest as she wished to be blessed, while the leader frowned in her direction.
Her thoughts pondered gloom in the cool, darkened room to strengthen her newfound connection.

Impressed with her new independence, she reveled with increased persistence.
Her journey became a sweetness to claim great success with a wonderful fragrance.
This pleasant adventure did forcefully bring her along with its power to hasten
A change to her person which tended to worsen, becoming what good people chasten.

While receiving a sinister gladness, she felt something leave her with sadness.
Her feelings embraced a commitment of haste to enter the place most call badness.
Inner peace now departed. Her new life had faltered, succumbed to the forces of evil.
Perplexities grew as she failed to see through her decision to worship the devil.

Anxieties met no resistance as they penetrated deep without hindrance.
So with happiness gone, she was left with no one to give her much needed assistance.
She now was distraught to the point where she thought that living lacked purpose and meaning.
So she took her own life with a sharp kitchen knife, which showed how depressed was her feeling.

Now reader be wise, pay attention; to the life of the maiden in question.
She sought to be free from her anxiety, which led to her fatal decision.
Look into your heart to prepare a fresh start and focus on a brand new beginning.
Know love is the cure that will help you endure a long life with a much better ending.
