Eclipsed from her life I was
Curtailed to follow her cause
Loved her I did since before
In the wee hours of the war
Poseidon won and then lost
Serpentine for being crossed
Everyone had to be tossed

"Hear Me Out"
"Hear me out, what if we ran away together?" "Where do you want to go?" "Anywhere but here. We could move to a new city or to Canada, or we could disappear from society to live in the middle of the woods. Maybe a combination of two of those things would be good. What do you say?"

You added rhyme to yours Patrick! I feel there's a Pink Floyd reference I'm probably missing, but the shortness of these entries means you can only say so much in seven lines, and I get a feeling of loss in this.
nice poem
