Ah, Life! Sonnet V

Ah, Life! V Cruel Life, I still await the constant love of Him, an epic, Alabaster Wraith to rise heroic on the still walls of another midnight void of futile faith. We've met before on dark and deadly nights when every hopeful sap was sleeping still, and when I wept for strength to try to fight he sat ‘till Dawn intruded from the sill. So many times I've come to die and gone perhaps to him I seem a passing waif. This time I swear I shall not see the dawn, I will not leave my Alabaster Wraith. Ah, Life, I never loved you from the start and yet you stalk my heavy, haunted heart!
