Ruthless, he is not, for the fear in her voice, he senses...
Ill treat her, he wishes not, for her fault , it is not...
Understand he does, her fear, her respect for him...

Unaware , what destiny beholds,
He seeks freedom, from the deceiving perception of reality....
Belying the evident, hushed stays his inner voice...
