He slid himself into her grave
And whispered in her ear, the words
Coming in a raspy voice
Moving her to tears
“Maria…”
~
Lying still beneath the earth
In a bed of broken dreams, she felt
Him lay down there beside her
As Death crawled in between
His ragged breath, long and rough,
Would chill her every bone when she
Felt his lips press to her skin,
As cold, now, as her own
Her mind alive with terror,
Her eyes open to the dark, she prayed
That Fate might somehow foil
Death's claim upon his heart
She listened as his soul cried
Of his longing and his pain and tried
To part her lips to say
That she had known the same
In her grave, where she had lain
For so many years alone, she would
Wait however long it took
For her lover to come home
She tried again to speak to him
So that he would understand, but he
Placed his hand over her mouth
And continued with his plan
And as he fell still beside her,
Her mind replayed the words that he
Whispered softly in her ear when
He laid down next to her
“ Maria, I've miss you so,”
He’d said first in quiet voice and she
Knew his love had not abated
When he said, “I have no choice”
His final words, as he let go,
Had been the ones to make her cry, for he
He gave himself to Death and her with…
“For you, love, I would die”
~

You went and gave me a shiver of chills with this one Snem, you have a flair for the dark walk indeed! It was a nice yet spooky walk down the dark road with you on this one. Incredible!!!!!!

Wow...that's all I can really say about this. It's such a wonderfully written emotional write. I absolutely love the last verse. |

Love, this didnt so much make my eyes well as it did make my heart beat really fast and then really slow. it was practically epic.
but really, incredibly heartbreaking, when the last time you got a decent night of sleep, eh?
