down once more into the gloomy night:
a promise waiting to be fulfilled
she, who once believed of an angel,
is bound to say farewell to a place
where angels fear to tread and wait
a tear rolls down her pale cheek
as she touches the ring on her finger
trembling, she enters his dominion
one painful gasp gives life to the gloom
but the sight upsets her when she sees him in bed
tears flood her eyes and her cheeks
when she takes his hand and kisses it
he tries to speak, she knows he is dying
he looks at her and smiles one piteous smile
as he takes his last breath and forever sleeps
she slips the ring into his finger in promise
and stays for what seems an eternity
a man carries his body to a spot
where darkness can still reach him
no epitaph, no reminder, but his memory inside her heart
