The Last Words (poem)
I’ll wait for you where love devours the night
The last words of a final note he left
Gone were the arms that used to hold her tight
Those hopeful sighs the tears they cried bereft
-
It seemed that here their love so grand had waned
A world of scars now echoed them to part
To distant stars they found their sights had trained
And fortune had dominion of their heart
-
And so she grew in beauty of her years
She even wed and raised a family
She rode the wave of all her sweat and tears
From time to time her thoughts returned to he
-
Soon age brought nights when death was in the air
And in those shadows he was waiting there
