HER

In the midst of a wet night, Discovered myself upon a viaduct. Straggled or vagrant, uncertain. Not petrified by the dark, rumbling sky, Amazed to find the place familiar. I perceived the faintest advancing steps, On turning back, delighted with her presence. The cold, shivering breeze, Waved her black long hair. I insisted not to blink. She ambled, At my fore now, only whispered. I apologize greatly, for concealment, for eons. I was denied your presence: a shadow's grace. Only welcoming death set my soul free. Fate unveiled its script, Offering me a last goodbye. Imparting my truth before the noose claims me. My world knows no dawn since.... Now gone, shine bright, bring me dawn once more. Conveying my farewell, I plunged into the water. Bewildered-reincarnated. Faced.... My damp eyes.
