The Lover’s Late Sweetheart

By March 28, 2022No Comments1 min read

 

The lover laments for her late sweetheart

But doesn’t allow him to depart from her heart

She holds her head high for his brave deeds

As her heart bleeds

 

The streets smelled of blood and bravery

As every mother, sister, and wife’s voice is quivery

Children sob as they are fatherless

While women tend to an armless

 

Suddenly she spots her sweetheart’s bloodied and dead face,

She climbs over the bodies and family at a fast pace

She embraces his dead face which is gross;

But she thinks it is as beautiful as a rose…..
