Two Against the World

For Dodo and someone....

It's a sad new story,
about how the kids fell,
all the way to the bottom,
of a sugar-coated well.

The water starts seeping in,
someone has opened the gates,
they are cornered it seems,
awaiting a drowning fate.

They clung onto each other,
the shiny rope was a trap,
one pull was all it took,
for this lovely rope to snap.

Now we have the strands in our hands,
we know you are looking from above,
we just need some understanding
it cannot be two against the world.
