He said very softly if he may leave
Yet the room remained silent
As If they saw a shadow creep into
His beautiful blue eyes
So he left with permission
And the grand funeral was empty
-
She said very softly if she may go
Yet her parents put their foot down
Smudging her toes with the floor
As if making her one with the house
No she may not leave
-
The boy was allowed the freedoms
Because no one cared to stop him
The room in which he asked
Was empty except a few mirrors
He called his only friends
But at least they knew he was sick
-
The girl was beaten with love
Because her parents feared
The outside which was too cold
For their lovely princess
And a fathers strict hand
Might just be the thing
That toughens her where he fell weak
