Never Assume They have Run Away

They said she ran away
she was murdered by her husband
no one knew that
until they died

They said he ran away
He was captured and tortured
His remains were never found
he ran nowhere

They thought the family ran away
I do not know what happened to them
but if they could return
I know they would
