Analysis of Maidens Heart-Crowley's Vest
She was no stranger to deceit.
Her heart in her hand, always mangled in defeat.
Many a place she no longer dared to go.
A diabolical world that is to say the very least.
Giving her heart as a youth unto the Christ.
Living quite the extreme opposite, not sufficed.
Left but a begotten whore.
Divorced by first betrothed.
Should she allow one more?
Unto her came back a man she knew in her youth.
Flutters and memories but are this the wolf?
They married on the day of St. Valentine
Tumultuous this relationship, to say smashed grapes became wine!
Crowley showed her his pangs and own heart's defeat.
Unearthing memories she had no idea his own deceit.
Alas they were two with one broken heart.
Asking Holy Father how on Earth did this all start.
Destroyed before the world quite publicly.......
She has her mission ......
He asked, was it me?
