Love Poem: Shades of Grey

Shades of Grey

Shades of grey
Clouds rush over head
Defiance clogs the air
Hate pours from the sleet above
Everything is against them
Everyone does not see
Does not feel as we do
Rain falls 
Drenching the woman standing at the gallows
The noose around her neck
He will not marry her
She would rather die then see him wed another
She gives her life for his
His crime she pays
Her eyes meet his across the courtyard
Tears unleash
And the lever is pulled
