Eternity

Eternity

The sun sets; bleeding in the sky,

I open my eyes look around and sigh,

My heart feels as if it will break,

He is gone; I am alone,

I light the candles to shine some light,

But it doesn't penetrate my heart,

I walk the corridor to my room,

I look out of the window at the fields,

But outside is as black as my heart,

For he is gone; I am alone,

I go into the wardrobe and pull out the dress,

I place it over my head,

The silk is soft against my skin,

The white shines in the candlelight,

I sit at the dressing table and take hold of my brush,

I pull it through my hair,

Brushing and brushing to make it shine,

I look at my reflection and smile,

I take the flowers and place them on my head,

I sigh,

This is how I should have looked,

But he is gone; I am alone,

I dance alone around the room,

I feel his arms around me as I close my eyes,

His breath upon my neck,

I lay my head upon his chest,

I think I can hear his heartbeat,

The warmth of his skin,

The smell of his body,

I open my eyes,

He is gone; I am alone,

I lay my body upon the bed,

I take the knife in my hands,

A single tear trickles down my cheek,

I push the blade into my skin,

Watching as the crimson pain flows,

The dress once white turns red,

The warmth from the blood flowing,

Warming my cold heart,

I close my eyes and wait,

Soon I will be with him,

Because he is gone; I am alone,

The sun begins to rise,

The night is done,

My eyes close and I sleep,

I do not see the bodies around me,

They do not always see me,

The sun sets; bleeding in the sky,

                                          I open my eyes look around and sigh.............
