You promised me
you would always be
by my side –
there for me.
I know I failed you.
This is true.
But tell me dear,
what can I do?
Fight! Fight,
with all your might!
Do not ready your soul
for flight!
But the wind does slow
and I must go.
This my dear
you surely know.

Jenn, I feel like the interplay between the voices adds real depth to this piece. The urgency and resignation contrast powerfully, making the emotions hit hard.

Love is difficult enough without fighting. Without letting each other down. There has got to be an easier way. Nicely done.
