NaPoWriMo, Day 15: ‘Together’

Today’s prompt was a tough one. It was to write a pantun, which “consists of rhymed quatrains (abab), with 8-12 syllables per line. The first two lines of each quatrain aren’t meant to have a formal, logical link to the second two lines, although the two halves of each quatrain are supposed to have an imaginative or imagistic connection.” I’m not sure the one I wrote is very good, but if you can tell me what TV show I referenced, I’ll give you a Stan Lee-style No-Prize.

The statue touched him with its finger.
The angel made my true love vanish before me.
This time is a place I can no longer linger.
I’ll follow him despite the Raggedy Man’s plea.
