A Golden Rule exception

A man worth his salt
would tell another man
if his daughter
was about to elope.
I have chosen
not
to tell you
that your daughter
will leave you
this weekend.
Her beau is coming
to fetch her
and will fly away
from you
with her.
For better,
She hopes.
Nevertheless,
I wish you well
in your grief.
I hope
You can
forgive me.
