it all came
came to me when
sitting here writing
but where to begin
to tell of the story
of two lovers entwined
in hopelessness and tragedy
and a past they can't hide
constantly beset
by misfortune unimaginably
torn at by forces
with jealous eyes
and a menagerie
of lies and deception
their pursuit of perfection
is hounded by demons
and a fear of rejection
he took her hand
said to be strong
looked into her eyes
kissed her tears
and carried on
