my heart
shall not be bound
but to another
and on my neck the locket
memories dear and precious
that bind us diamond-strong
I shall walk to you
daring every squad
invisible to every human eye
defying the curfew
over sleeping villages
and empty streets
look through your window
into that moonlit sky
see I come down to you
what’s sparking from my heart
you’re sure to catch it too
we’ll throw the key away
locked forever
disease, miles and rules
do not rule our realm
