consenting sacrifice

eleven chapters ago,
I was threaded into the story:

seamstress' child

and you stayed beside me
to read and stroll

our landscape,
a stiff handerkerchief.


Lover,
I was happy, yet you abruptly
repeated:

Let me go;
let me go.

who was I
to refuse or ignore?

Eleven chapters later,
I am read no more.
