Gaps and chaps
The gap wasn't clear as our love barrelled forward with us unable to steer.

A freight train out of control. A fright night battle in impending gloom.

"if you were younger"
"if you were older"

The ifs and buts and maybes leading the witness to question. The answer; death.

To kill the love once shared. Fear of treason without any reason. The glaive came down on my neck.

Severed and cold blood spilled into my life. I entered thinking you'd become my wife.

Many years but even more tears. I write about you and the love that could've been.
