Beyond the borders of forever,  
out where not always and in part  
join caveats, however clever,  
against the fragile human heart,  
that one, weak, vulnerable kingdom  
which fights its battles, seems to win them,  
only to find that all is lost  
because it cannot bear the cost  
of winning. She attempts to draft her  
terms of surrender as a win.  
Most unoriginal, her sin.  
No, there won't be an ever after,  
and no forever. Only now…

Surrendering, she makes a vow.
