The Votarist

Lest you liken her to an angel,
she could touch, but could not hold-
And yet she still endeavored
to touch the concrete basins,
the depths of his cold soul.
Years on years she tried and failed-
her charms were sorely wasted,
all to no avail.
But then one day she stumbled upon
the coveted combination
that would break the man of stone-
Yet found she could not
fathom it, and sadly,
made her way back home.
