Even the Dead

by Atomic   Dec 21, 2005


"I will wait for you forever",
Her promise rang loud and clear.
And true to her words she kept,
Until the day her death drew near.

He never came back for her,
His words were an empty promise.
But still she waited for his arrival,
Cherishing memories of his kiss.

She never knew he got married,
Had a few children of his own.
When they were moving on together,
She was waiting for him alone.

Now her ghastly figure stood,
Draped in the purest of white lace.
In the midst of all the gravestones,
Still in searching of his face.

He heard of her death years later,
But the news didn't bother him one bit.
He just brought his children along,
For an over due visit.

When she saw him with his family,
Her heart stopped at a final end.
Who would have ever guessed,
Even the dead can die again.

    Awwww. Would you stop making me want to cry with yor poetry, woman! That poor tortured soul. I love how your writing always has a story weaved in that makes you want to keep reading and that makes you feel for the characters. I love writing that makes me feel and all of your writing does. VERY NICE!

    That is really sad. I like the last line "Even the dead can die again". Very nice! Good descriptions and it flowed very nicely.

    Take Care and God Bless,

    Wow, 10/5! A brilliant and emotional poem. So very very true and not fair at the same time. When one person clings on to a relationship and the other lets it fade away, there is nothing more painful, nothing so hurting as that. Its a fate worse than death in every way. I hope you didn't have to go through that, and if you did, my heart is with you.
