The Epitaph Read…

Abstract

Watching you leave, memories reeling
To a faraway land. Oh! the anger it fed
The monster with a deathly peeling
Chased me but I fled
And laid here peering at the ceiling
With a picture of us in my head
It can’t speak the feeling
Of how my heart bled

With tears forever concealing
Even at deathbed
Grimly revealing
“I love you” — the epitaph read
