Follows

She walks in his footsteps in silence
No shadow does she cast
Her eyes hidden, gazing low
Her mind only on the next step
World weary and full of woe
Careful not to stray
Living only to serve him
Not broken but bent and bleeding
Random hurts from others they pass
Intended not to injure
They tear her down
Harming her beloved grieves her
Brings her so low
She falters as she walks
But still she follows

Downfall (Rubáiyát)

How long shall I wait for you?
Does waiting prove my love more true?
Not sure what thought hurts me most
Either way my heart is blue

The past is coming to haunt me in ghosts
Asking who I love the most
My answer should not surprised at all
I hope that God forgives my boast

But you have me in total thrall
Over and over again I fall
I just hope you love me too
Or you shall be my downfall
