An Unlikely Romance
An Unlikely Romance
It is grotesque to know
How someone can stoop so low
How jealousy is the destroyer
Pride cometh before the fall as once told by the Proverbs author
Like the story of Electra and Orestes, it has parallels with the Bible's Ahab and Jezebel
Both plotting against someone who they should have thought twice to mess with
The involvement of an reluctant Naboth would also come into account
Deception to avoid the speculation
Manipulation of the images and stories told
Obsession and desperation to further recognition
Greed of the social chameleon started moons ago
You cannot be with this person, you cannot be with that person
Must show, my show this lie forever more
Always about me, it must always appear to be about me and how wonderful I am
Like Emma Bovary and Ellen Bernet gone mad
A lie cannot live for an eternity
Especially when those find things odd
Nobody can deceive God
A seductress encounters those like the villainous pairings of the Greek tragedy and First Kings
Always escaped from an uglier fate
The seductress you'll hear more of in our tale
The exploited Naboth sees through this individual like a translucent paper
Badgering the innocent over platonic parlor
Taking things that isn't their own
Thinking it is saving the Naboth who doesn't belong
The very man of the story wanted nothing of the unholy union
Believed the former pretty girl he met was who God wanted for him
But she was like Samson's wife
It was not to be so and this made his heart turn cold
The torment caused by the villainous twosome continued with the aid of the former love
All three of them planned this mad circus which the hero didn't know of
As well as the crimes against the innocent who will show no mercy
They will not have any happy ending
But the man who is still the hero of the story
He is like Samson, handsome and turns to God for glory
The seductress like Delilah now enters the picture
But not for destruction
She entices him with her words and beauty
Explains the hardship and sorrow and God's promise of love eternity
The Delilah of our story mentions she knows everything
Every evil, every madness
All the merciless innocent shared
Our hero like Samson could have said, there's no need to continue talking, we can go our separate ways
Yet did not say one word and decided to stay
The villains of our tale tried to keep our Samson and Delilah pair apart
But God would not let them be victorious
