garnigalInspired by the song "Joan of Arc" from Jennifer Warnes' Famous Blue Raincoat album.
She was all he dreamed and much more.
Her strength astounded him. Her nerve amazed him. Her beauty awed him.
Her pain attracted him. Her grief appealed to him. Her yearning absorbed him.
She fascinated him in all her incarnations, so he watched from the shadows.
Watched her fight, watched her walk into the lion’s den, watched her mature.
Watched her ache, watched her cry, watched her long for something more.
Long for something he could offer.
And so he courted her while she courted disaster, blind to his desire.
Until Death stepped from the shadows and took her hand.
She was all he dreamed and much more.

This one is both Jennifer Warnes and Leonard Cohen - I prefer Warnes version from Famous Blue Raincoat, but it'll give you an idea.
