Adrift

Wave after wave came and went;
a message bottle arrived at my feet.
Inside I found the story of a forgotten love,
from the other side of the world and from a long time ago.
In the letter someone imprinted their broken heart,
I felt tears roll down my face.
It had been a tabooed love between an older female
and a young male. The unfortunate part was that the older
female was married to his Father. The young man sang;
To the fair lady in secret,
in the beautiful garden of the mansion.
At the end of the letter the young man;
wrote that it was the first and last time he would
tell anyone and he ended with a thank you.
