The young woman wept
At the thought of the secret still kept.
Laying in the peaceful arms of the dark,
Her fate she began to accept.

Knowing what she must soon do,
This much she knew,
It wouldn't be easy.
But she had no clue.

She brushed her hair
And went downstairs.
She grabbed his hand
And looked at him with a sad stare.

As she told him,
His expression turned grim.
He stared at his feet and thought of the future
And could see his chances becoming slim.

He put on a brave face
He made her a promise
Then he took her in a warm embrace.
He took her in a warm embrace.
