'Betrothing Sin” Poem by C.F Francis

Dear love why come at such a time
When the wedding day is set?
I’ve already signed what I have in blood; the
Contract is what I will follow. You saw with
You’re Three kind Eyes the day he kneed
With the deadly ring.
You did nothing to prevent it
Yet you’re powerful.

If you love me why not save me
From your enemy?
Why not put me on your list?
You close the gate, abandon us!
Now you plead for me?
The wedding day is set.
