Only death separated us

I knew our fate
would soon be at hand,
it was just a question of when.
We are romantic heroes now,
but our lives 
were nothing more than an escape.
People 
just hated the banks and the authorities
that we disciplined.
But they won't let go.
That's what outlaws are.
I would have liked
to be buried side by side,
but our families wouldn't let us.
At least we died side by side.
Only death separated us.

Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow were a legendary outlaw couple.

I was the emperor of Mexico (Maximilian I)

The people hated me, even though I improved their lives, or at least their instigator. I asked my executioners not to shoot me in the face, so that my mother would still know me. I asked and I forgave. A poet's note. Maximilian of Austria-Hungary was the emperor of Mexico for a while.
