Downfall

Advance in swirling overcoat
The man called Shadow's after dark
He looked on ribboned head in front
Skipping to the empty park
He ran inside to vacant stretch
The footsteps were so soft behind her
Disappearing through the gate
It wouldn't take too long to find her
He breathed, "We are alone"

The night drew in and watched them there
A cat and mouse but who could tell
A scathing hand caught ribbons bright
A rough face pushed against her hair
She turned to face and caught his eye
With sharper teeth so long and bright
How Legion laughed!
How Legion cried!
Oh lucky day!
Oh sweet surprise!
She breathed, "We are alone"

And Legion told her
"We'll never leave you alone"
