An uncanny friendship between two women
Bonded through pain and suffering
Eventually, they escaped, but how and when
One old and bitter, beaten
The other young, experiencing a summer fling
An uncanny friendship between two women
The younger one forced into a marriage while pregnant
The older one faced to bite the dust, fuming
Eventually, they escaped, but how and when
The older one nurtured the latter’s children
The daughter dusted, while the son lavished like a king
And somehow a friendship forged between the women
Tattered clothes of ragged linen
To an orphanage, the young daughter was sent packing
They planned their escape not knowing when
Laila and Mariam had come to their decision
Laila finally escaped with her summer fling
An uncanny friendship between the two women
Eventually, they escaped, but not with Mariam
