As Lightning Growls
I guess I really did love him……
Rewind to the beginning
When love was new
Then became old
Taken for granted
The sight of him made her sick
His voice was like nails
Crawling across a chalkboard
The scent of him curdled her milk
Laughter she use to love
Sounded in her ears
Wolves baying at the moon
Now as she stood over
His cold rigor mortis body
Eyes wide open
Staring out into nothing
Mouth agape frozen in motion
Catching last breath of air
Appearing like a blowfish
How tragic the sight, but
That one thought crossed her mind
And then like her love for
Him it vanished into thin air
As lightning growled across
The heavens

Makes me wonder what happens in between that moment of staring adoringly into your beloved's eyes, can't take your eyes off this turkey, to this where you end up cringing at the sound of his loathsome laughter and visualize him as a fetid corpse! Just wondering, but meanwhile this is amazing elk ellis. Regards, snakeslane
