Weeping Widow
She dressed in black on that cloudy day
Her lover buried in soil of clay
She was weeping tears, her lover gone
Her heart was heavy, as was the knife
She longed for times long gone
When lovers entwined, sweet as wine
Time has passed, and love has faded
She could have been a lady
She choose instead, the bitter vine
The knife was deep, the blood divine
She danced all night, as the devil red bright
Even, she could have been a lady
Weeping widow don’t you cry
We know the tears fall from the sky
You dressed in black, to say goodbye
Your tears water past memories
Dead dreams fade from view
Weeping widow you are now free
From the torment of your crimes
Solitude will drink you whole
When the blood of lost passions
Dries
Truly a weeping widow you shall be
Alone among wild flowers and roaches
