Sardonic Wrath -

Deep in a dream I saw you in a memory You were a rose in my garden of death The joy you brought, the emotion I sought Even after your passing, I hoped would never rot But, now I find myself Deep in saudade Grief overtakes me I fall to my knees You were on your deathbed I was by your side I gave you one last loving kiss And then you died Before I could say goodbye That ultimate time Now I behold your tombstone again The epitaph meant as a reminder to laugh To erode with emotions lachrymose Wolfhounds howl for the curtain closed Anguish drives my sanity comatose Weeping in madness for my decomposed rose I can never forgive myself As I fall, entrapped in the closing walls “Deep in a dream I saw you in a memory You were a rose in my garden of death The joy you brought, the emotion I sought Even after your passing, I hoped would never rot” The last kiss, your final wish You told me I was your fulfillment of bliss …I try to keep that eulogy in the back of my mind The happiness you brought to me I can no longer find Grief rides behind the horseman of the eternity of death Guilt constricts my core; the garden, as I, lies forever bereft Your grave an undying memento of what once was What could have been, now long robbed from us The rose you were, has long since decimated In mocking sunlight, I mourn thy soul cremated. I grasp the thorns, they crumble to dust… On your tumulus I leave one last kiss Lest I go on feeling remiss ’Til the end of existence. I wish to feel nothing more.
