A man so strong, so wise, so brave.
A woman so kind, so beautiful, so brave.

The man, sent to war.
The woman, left to wait.

The man, sent to a twisted foreign land.
The woman, left home to lounge and work.

The man, clad in a stiff uniform.
The woman, draped in a black dress.

The man, in a box.
The woman, in a hysterical fit.

The man, drowned in blood.
The woman, drowned in tears.

The man with a hole through his head.
The woman with a hole through her heart.

The man, in the ground.
The woman, in the clouds.

The man, forever gone.
The woman, forever lost.
