Raven's Lost Soul

Karen Croft   Among the Dead   

Every night she walks into darkness

The amethyst mist swoons her darkened figure

As she glides between the grave stones

 the ravens cower over her in pleasure

Keeping watch over her husband

She is among the dead now

The life sucked out of her

To the grounds of the cemetery she remains

Forever trapped in her own dismay

Her once white wedding gown turned from the drowning of her tears

Raven, herself already dead inside 

Her soul lost

Her heart stopped beating the night she shot her husband and  watched his lifeless 

body fall to the floor

She walks in gloom

The cemetery her safe haven

It reserves a place for her

For every where she glances her name is etched in stone
