A lifetime of togetherness - Famous last words!


Part 1

A lifetime of finishing your sentences.
Enjoying the silences


You holding my hand whenever I'm uncertain
On all individual fears we draw the curtain


Drawing strength from just your glance
Doubt just stands no chance


Smiling at each other across a room
Being beside you there can be no gloom


We're opposites in character and traits
You're shy and wonderful
I'm loud and quite a handful


Two halves making a beautiful whole
Can't wait to be two bodies but one soul



Part 2

Alas! it never came to pass
The glitter of gold turned out to be just cheap brass


The vultures have gathered
Their mouths with saliva lathered


A public spectacle will unfold
Inflicting shame, misery and embarrassments untold


They tried to place her in a gilded cage
Her mind, body and soul ruined by their blinding rage


Who's victory? Who's defeat?
Such a folly she must not repeat


Isn't it better to be alone
than to discover the heart she loved was really made of stone?
