Restless

Restless

They once shared a courtship
Untouchable renowned
Inseparable for love or money
No friends allowed

Every night she sat in wait
Exact clothes the same
Face revealing cracks
Restless in her love
Too immersed to step back

Obsessive loners, united alight
Constrained by the times
He abandoned their bed
And left for the fight

Every night she sat in wait
Exact clothes the same
Face revealing cracks
Restless in her love
Too immersed to step back

They parted hysterical
Locals thought them mad
Their last moments spent in tears
Shouting proclaiming their love

Every night she sat in wait
Exact clothes the same
Face revealing cracks
Restless in her love
Too immersed to step back

Days turned into weeks
She wrote everyday
Received no reply
She’d persist all the same

Every night she sat in wait
Exact clothes the same
Face revealing cracks
Restless in her love
Too immersed to step back

There was talk of the lost
Papers littered with names
She received the letter
Left it un open afraid

Every night she sat in wait
Exact clothes the same
Face revealing cracks
Restless in her love
Too immersed to step back

Booze fuelled curiosity
Revealed he’d lost his war
She barely felt the blade as
She split flesh drained all

Every night she sat in wait
Exact clothes the same
Faces revealing cracks
Restless in her love
Too immersed to step back.
