death do us part

cast thine shadows away,
in dutiful sorrow I mourn.
night of darkness pray,
fateful morrow be born.

sordid jealousy shimmer,
simmering hate burn marrow.
predator eyes, hunt aglimmer,
my scorn'd countenance sallow.

despondent, satisfy hunger.
enraged, i find contentment.
tearful blood flows in anger,
dawn alighting lamentment.

this deathly horror i've lived,
shorn all hope to redeem.
once with your love bestowed,
now death, certain and keen.

There's hope, even if its only a sliver, because 'death didn't do you apart'!

Loved the second stanza for its stark smoldering images.

Season's greetings!

This is such an honest poem.
Shadows overcast the brow while reading
this, however the honesty gives one the
light of it's beauty.
