A Widow

The pendulum swinging inside a 
clock
Echoed hauntingly as it struck
Through empty voids of a 
massive hall
With windows sealed to hide the 
morn

A woman sat with golden hair
That curled itself around her 
chair
Her eyes were fixed on a 
tablecloth
While her heart seared like 
flame to moth

Minutes passed and hours fled
Cold air stained her empty bed
Her prince had left and fought 
and died
On a foreign shore his corpse 
would wither
She clenched her fists and shut 
her eyes
And prayed her heart would 
survive the winter
