Midnight Rising

Midnight Rising
Sunset shadows mourn the day.
The pitter patter splashes on my carriage window.
Countryside beautiful, but ever so deathly I know that now
Once now, the lightning strikes the hazy and crying clouds.
The driver races faster toward home.
The horse working up a cold and hot fever.
My worries make me crazy, and shout to stop.
My lover on my right, seething with pain.
His arm bleeding greatly from the drivers literally drunk speed.
Faster and faster we race down the mud splattered lanes
of Devon. My face stained with fear and tears.
My lover dying of pain and me dying to keep him alive.
I cry for him not to be lost and don let go.
He screams for me to keep quiet; the driver is shouting profanity at his horse.
The midnight hour rises to meet us. The rain still shouting and screaming.
I am holding my lover, keeping the blood from seeping anymore.
The Lightning rears its ugly head; the poor, exhausted horse kicks and rears,
meeting the midnight horizon. My lover and I feel the ground upon our
faces, his arm bleeding still. His trench coat covers his face. I feel his heart,
His body gone into the next world.
His mangled face, and cuts too gruesome to word.
The driver is alive; the poor creature shrilled its last.
The driver goes on in a gimp, not even caring about our thorough bruises
and scars; the pain we all went through. The dead animal that leaves for
the better.
My lover; gone, his shattered remains still staring at me.
I cry and curse the midnight rain.
I carry the corpse to its resting place.
His love still eternal.
His soul still stands at the foot of my bed.
My heart is now a mess.
Never to be repaired.
Never to love another.
I never will meet a carriage and its so great driver.
Someday soon, I shall meet him up into the stars above.
Lost in lovers fantasy.
Now, I sleep alive and restlessly.
A night of sheeting rain keeps me up.
The evilness that lay within the rain.
Six feet under; lies my love.
Rain, the root of all evil.
I will sleep tonight with solitude, knowing he is waiting for me.
So soon to come.
