Lady of Mortality
She is waiting in time's shadow
Wrapped in night's whisper
Fever crowns her head with fire
She wears illness as her garment
Heartache is her design
Her soulless eyes reflect
Absence of life
Her mouth draws breath
Leaving emptiness
She lifts life's veil
Death embraces sorrow
Flowers blanket stone memories
Grief weeps to an orchestra of pain
