A dark night in Paris
a lady with a man
a driver who had been drinking
it hadn’t gone to plan
the press were in attendance
sweet nothings in her ear
onwards into the tunnel
the couple were sincere
exhaustion got the better
the dark the shadows thrown
the front wheels clipped the kerb edge
the couple they were thrown
Sideways
it all happened
in the blinking of an eye
a princess lost her power to breathe
in an instant both would die
together love had cost them
An Eternal time for they
lost their sense of being
and did together pass away.
