the difference is - i can walk away - i wanted to tell her this
but that would have made her only sadder: she's been beaten
not by hands or brooms, only through time that smothers life
i can tell by her shoulders, her stance, her eyes, if she could
escape she would - he knows this, as he knows i can walk
away: so it all comes down to this: that he will hear me out or
i will just report what i have: let a robed man decide the outcome
of his life: to me it makes no difference - i get paid left or right
if only she had this opportunity
