i remember the time

when you lost a shoe

in the quick mud by the creek

that we stumbled through

we felt fate right behind us

its breath hot on our skin

i wanted to drown but

you said you could swim

we held hands

and we ran

through trees

and high grass

we watched

the slow drip of time,

puddle

what's yet

into what has

as to a hunter

our love was prey

we crept through forest by moonlight

we slept hidden from the day

the frightened beasts in the distance

kept us weary of the storm

thats followed close behind us

since our forbidden love

was born

the clouds seemed to

bleed across the sky,

swept strong in

the heavy winds

nearing thunder

hid our passion cries

but the lightning

exposed our sin

now i grieve in silence

watching stars above

where ive placed my heart

til i am reuninted

with my love
