she looked young to me
they said
and she'd lived there forty years with him
blindly in love
she has gleefully visited
your 8x8 vacant grave
where you'll lay pale and true
where you will lay

and she had a gun
aimed reckless
but you let her in anyway
because you claimed you recognized
and loved her still
after all this time
love is calling you to the grave
