Once
When someone had her
She was almost loved
But then this someone thought:
“I can’t be all
She’d ever known”
And he let her go.
And She ran
She ran too fast
When she ran
She ran too far
Then
She was found again
By another strange man
Who loved her recklessly
Love turned to pain
And carved his sin
Into her skin
And she fled
She fled too fast
When she fled
She fled too far
Until
She fell surprised
With the moon on the rise
For a face of the sun
Seeing her bleeding
Their love was fleeting.
And she fell
She fell too fast
When she fell
She fell far
Now
They would not
Take her back
For what she’d seen
Is more than they can
Understand.
And she dies
She dies alone
When she dies
She dies too soon
