she and he

she was a painter
he was valedictorian
she was always freer
and he was authoritarian

she wanted to go out and have fun
he forbade it and demanded she stay home
every bone in her body told her 'run'
and he threatened to brake each bone

she followed her heart
and he used his brain
she wanted to part
and he made her feel shame

she finally flew away
and he made her the villain
she became the source of his grey
and he called her insane

she went
he told her she wouldn't make it
she never payed any mind to the hate
and he couldn't take it

he turned all against her
but she flourished on
he wanted her to hurt
but she was too far gone
