Alas! My Love

June 16, 2020

Wherefor have you gone?

I search this stagmited crevice that is

My mourning heart-

Where memories of you lie

Like shattered shards of glass.

Alas, my love

Here me I beg!

He has taken you!

Laid you on rose,

And covered you in thorn!

Alas, my love,

With Death’s violent kiss

You too

Have forgotten me.
