'Till Death Do Us Part

(I recommend listening to a creepy song while reading this.)

The day he died I cried, it was our wedding night

The church had burned, but I escape

After we said I do

I saw him die in front of my eyes

Foolish girl they had said

He should have lived

He saved my life, but no pity for him was ever took

The rhyming scheme wears thin with age as I tell this tale each time

For I cannot bear this much longer

10 years I may say

But it may be longer

For now I am scared

For I see that flower

The burnt and bloody flower that fell into my hands

Fell with a promise

For we shall meet again

Now I hear a rapping at my door all through the night

A tapping, a knocking, for it gives me a fright

I shout go away, but they keep on knocking 5 times

Then I stops and then I see my dead lover in front of my eyes

Not as he was before the fire, but for I am surely tired

He is burnt and bloody and missing his eyes

I hear a grumbled moaning of a wail that must be mine

For my lover dear I write this hear one last time

I love you so but you may be so, move onto the next life

Do not stay here for me for you scared me all night

I shall come with you for this time

'Till death do us part you have chimed

Chimed and chimed again in my ears

In the wind for I

For I need to die

Dance my last dance into the fire A blaze for I will come

The depths of hell with you

For Satan there is god
