Two lovers, in a tree

One asks the other to leave

But he stays, his love a smother

From which the other wishes to be free

 

Two lovers, hanging from a tree

"You should've just let me be"


The author's comments:

A poem describing a suffocating love, that a young woman escapes by hanging herself.

Angry, sad, and confused, her lover finally joins her. Disregarding her suicide note, he just couldn't leave her be.
