Poem
He left with the early train He left in the rain He had left only a letter He didn't bother to wake her As she slept like peace, a glow on her face Bathed in the memories of the pleasure; the pleasures of the night, memories she can't erase For she wanted the night to last forever...

She dried the tears, but in vain she tried Lost in the confusion of whether or not to cry And last night? Was all that a lie? Within the next few weeks she had died For she could no longer tell if she was alive She waited to wake up from this dreadful dream But each day the pain in her heart reminded her it was all real. Still not a single word from him Her hold onto life had grown thin... Food irritated her Her smiles had neglected her She feared to sleep, she feared to stay awake With swollen eyes and a convulsive head quake She was alive, yet she had died She was put to death by those eight lines...
