Poem -

mourning dove

Did she know that night
When laying her head to sleep

The horror that lurks in wait
As her heart awoke her

Frantically sitting upright
In her cosy bed

Could she hear his last breath
escape within her head

The warmth from the blankets
to die fast in her cries

The way a withering flower dies
A very living nightmare
Upon opening her big blue eyes

The fate that was to be
Cold chills within her soul

As death came walking
And reaped his final role

A world spinning inside her head
Under the covers her sorrow's bed

Lay down the law's of forsaken love
His soul now reigns in heaven above

She Seeks the silence, a mourning dove
That echoes within her soul

Reminded in the wake of day
Death is the final living toll.
