A ballad is a poem that tells a story, usually having a repeated refrain. It's often sung and about love. 

One more gaze into your eyes

Before we meet our demise

As we hide under his guise

Full of the untruths and lies

Bonds broken along with ties

All I desire is a last embrace

Sweet embrace, sweet embrace

Warmth spreading through us

Spirits lifting

Doubts sinking

The universe swallows everything whole

Frowning upon foolish decisions

Preparing to tear our lives apart

I’ll carve a last smile onto your face

Traveling faster than the speed of light

Bracing you through harmful impacts

Silent forces all around

Separating our entwined fingers

Forbidding any contact

All I desire is a last embrace

Sweet embrace, sweet embrace

Cold frosting our veins

Spirits sinking

Doubts lifting

One more gaze into your eyes

Before we meet our demise

As we hide under his guise

Full of the untruths and lies

Bonds broken along with ties
