Love and Trust

A Poem by Hercules94

A poem following a man waiting for his love to show up so they can leave the place forever and for good

Poor miguel trodded on the road,
Kicking every little rock on the ground,
He had a gun on his back,
Which he was about to give up then

A pair of lights ran towards him,
And halted near the garbage bin,
It was a beautiful red ferrari,
Which he was sure belonged to his Serene

A girl in her early twenties stepped out,
Terrified of what would happen if she was caught
Gave an even terrified smile,
Pain in which was visible from a mile,

Miguel ran up to he and hugged her,
Serene proceeded to kiss his lips with hers,
Both shared a moment of solidarity and peace,
Which was broken by Serene's whispered "sorry…"

At least I tried, thought poor boy,
Knowing that a girl like her,
Would never elope with her father's cronie,
Yet he still tried and tried and tried

"Just don't make it painful," said the boy,
Being in the gang since he played with toys,
He knew death can be two way, fast and slow,
But the boy was not sure what he was going for,

The girl looked at her man,
He eyes showing shattering trust,
"Don't you trust me still," she said,
Looking in the eye, not speaking the rest,

The boy was not smart enough to understand women,
Yet he knew what his girl meant,
"Do we have to run?" He asked,
Serene said, "It would be better if we travel by car"

They both terrified of what would come,
Girl on wheel, thought of running away safely,
But her Man was terrified of
How much time will it take to win back her trust.
