PASSED

I LOOKED AT MY WIFES FACE AS SHE LAY THERE..

SHE LOOKED BETTER WITH THOSE WHITE SHEETS AROUND HER.

LIKE SOME DREAM OF A PRINCESS SLEEPING IN PEACE..

I DREAMT OF THE DAY, SHE WOULD AWAKEN.

DROWSY WITH THE FEELING OF CONTENT..

FOR I KNEW I’LL BE HERE AND SEE HER THROUGH..

I’D BE THE HERO SHE WAITED TO SEE..

I WAS THE ONE ALL ALONG AND SHE’LL BE WITH ME.

AS DAYS GO BY SHE LOSES HER BEAUTY,

MY BELOVED IS DEAD MY ONLY DEITY .

THEY EAT HER FLESH FROM THE INSIDE OUT,

AS I HELD HER CLOSE WITHOUT A DOUBT..

I AM STILL HOPING SHE’LL AWAKEN,

THOUGH DARK I KNOW THIS PATH I HAVE TAKEN..

SO HERE IN MY CASTLE THAT’S NOW OUR TOMB..

I CHOSE TO WAIT WITH SHADOWS OF GLOOM..
