My love for you, fair maiden has grown cold 
Its joy freezes my insides 
The smile I feign 
When I see you nigh 
Thaws my icy lips with pain 
My love for you, fair maiden has burnt out 
Its warmth I no longer feel 
Cupid's blaze 
Has blackened my heart 
Like Jesse* on one fine day 
My love for you, fair maiden is over 
An epilogue written with patience 
As fate decides which journey to start 
I embrace time 
To show me her way 
My love for you, fair maiden is dead 
Its memories lie stiff in a grave 
All I have 
Is this epitaph intact 
I loved you once, fair maiden 
Jesse* = A community in Ethiope Local Government Area (Delta State), Nigeria which suffered a fatal fire accident in 1998
