walk through the streets
with me please
she said

i'll be with you till death do us apart
i knew this from the start
he said

if this was to be real
why did it not come true?
she said
as tears behind dams of her once
sparkling eyes broke free

we can be free
if we stand behind the willow tree
he begged
as pride dripped away from his once
arrogant demeanor

will we be free?
