Elegy


I gaze upon her still form
her compact body shrouded in black

her ruby eyes are closed; they will never see again
her firey gaze will never look upon me

her face is pale, like the moon
never again will it blush as so becomes her

her lips are pale as well
they will never grace me with a smile

Her crimson hair lies neatly brushed under her
never will it tumble about her shoulders or fly in the breeze

oh how I long to hold her in my arms
to feel her lips against mine
to know that she will be eternally mine
to know that she is alive

but it cannot be so
for He who takes those who are at their time
has taken her
and I could do nothing to stop Him

oh the agony!
standing before her cold body
knowing that never again will she lose her temper
never again will she laugh

had I dwelt so long in the darkness
that I failed to see her plight?
now my master, the darkness
has taken her

and I could do nothing but watch on.

her body withered
her spirit died
the flame and fire left her eyes

and I could do nothing.

oh, how I longed for those scarlet eyes to gaze into mine
full of love
but I was but a monster to her
a priest of darkness
an agent of evil

she rejected me.

and now it is too late for love.

she is gone.
