A Muted Soul

The dread has engulfed a girl downright,

Satan's veil barring the voiceless words,

Dismayed eyes never saw the mortal's sleight,

A butcher's prey for the ruthless swords.

To serve a frivolous lord, thus she was born,

To stay reticent all over, thus she was raised,

Unacquainted about life, she had sworn,

Hence forever she was bound to be enslaved.

Always to be overlooked, she did subsist,

None did question and none did gainsay,

Lost forever in the floating mist,

To wander bewilderly, he had left her astray...!!
