He believed in Ghosts
And Faith
And Love
And all the Words
He couldn't see
He was in need
Of something new
Of someone new
Of someone who
Would take him in
And hold him tight
But it wasn't right
To leave her there
To leave her where
She fell
And where she sacrificed
Her name
And her shame
In the dust
And in the growing dusk
He took a breath
And opened his eyes
And when she said
"We will be okay"
What she meant was
"I have to go away"
"I have to go away"
"I have to go away"
