Raven By the Graves

I believe in the protector of the dead. I see her every time I am there. When I'm sitting by your grave, thinking about the good times and bad. She sits on top of your headstone, as the most beautiful bird ever known. Her dark feathers shines in the moonlight, her eyes dark as coal. She stares into my eyes when she near, giving me a message very clear. "Oh, my dear Raven... You have taken upon yourself to do this, to protect the ones that are gone. I love how you are close so now we know they're never alone. I truly love you as a friend, and I hope you're here in the end. My dear Raven, understand you are always in my head." You have to understand that this is forever. She knows what to do because she is clever. No, She will never leave. You would just have to believe. She made this as her duty Cause she feels right where she belongs.
