Love Fear

How much further, can his legs walk,
They began earlier, and she don't talk,
The path narrow, their bodies must touch,
Only spoke of sorrow, holding the door lurch.

With just a step, she is out,
Behind he leap, in her there's doubt,
He saw the hate, she had for her,
Unfair is the fate, they can say so, so far.

He had to run, to keep up her pace,
It wasn't fun, her smile had to cease,
He felt her tear, in the cold night,
Could see the fear, he had to fight.

In his whole life, she he'll love,
Take her as a wife, his kids to have,
"I seek what's mine, my bone my rib'
She'll be divine, no matter the tribe.
