Paige

The crows circle as the casket
Baring my love
Is slowly lowered into the earth.

I can see those around me
As they weep wildly,
Yet all I hear is the silence
The silence screaming her name.

Yes, the roaring silence.
Not even the angels dare to sing
A final lullaby to my sweet.

The hovering crows seem to pulsate
Along with my heart,
Strangely still beating
As if it weren't broken.

Nay, my heart is not broken,
But in the possession of my fallen lover.
As she moves on to the next world
My heart and dreams travel with her.

Why have I been forsaken?
She may be laid to rest
But I will never rest easy again....
Or atleast not in life.

I long to embrace her once again,
I can still see her deep, dark eyes
Twinkling with warmth
Equal to the heatwave of passion
In my soul.

Her perfectly white skin that she wore
Like the silk of the full moon,
At first radiant and full of life
Now rots and decays beneath me.

Like her hourglass ran out far too soon
And my own was broken and shattered
Into a million pieces.

I wish I could mix the sands
Of our hourglasses together,
So we could become one.

We could then forever love together,
For it wouldn't matter
If we were walking in the sun
Or six feet under,
We would be together.

~*~

By now the sun has gone
And only the moon remains.
I cannot gaze at it,
For it is the same everlasting hue
Of white as her's.

I vow to myself, and to her,
I will hold her once again soon.

By twilight tonight
I'll leave the world on my own accord.

I will embrace death
And her name is Paige.
