They watched

the children watching them...

Fell out of love

& in again...

Adorned the walls

within our shrines...

Refused to leave

our men behind...

And so they grew

as we both did...

Like wild fire

passion bid

us speak our love

& go to bed...

Leave behind us

childhood dread...

Stick by all the words we said...

With supermen -

We do what we can -

That's all we can do -

Until we are dead.
