Known

She carries the burden of Knowing, the heavy pain of truth.
In every handshake and flirtatious glance
In each warm hug and passing smile
She knows what will come, in the end as it always comes.
She Knows.
And she fears it gravely, yet is never blinded by that fear.
She cannot unKnow it and therefore must live with it
through it
within it.
And so it shall be written upon her stone:
All

that dares to love you

will leave you still

alone.
