Graveyard

I walked in the graveyard of broken hearts

The sad place where dreams go to die

The gray gates swung shut by themselves at my back

And a raven swooped down from the sky.

He gave me a look that said "You shouldn't be here"

I was puzzled and replied with a frown

The twilight grew dense and the winter wind, cold

As my tears with the raindrops came down.

The mausoleum, regal, stood in the silence

It's pale marble glowed with allure

I thought I heard whispers like bats in a belfry

But my grieving mind couldn't be sure.

The night like a cloak enveloped the statues

That were lit by the sudden full moon

Rising in rain as the moan of a train

Played it's desolate, long distance tune.

I do not know how long I walked there

For it seemed to me time had stood still

I could only think about how I had loved you

And how much that I always will.

When the sun awoke, it shined it's face

On the horizon's dim canvas so wide

And I saw the headstones etched with our names

On two graves close by side by side.

A movement I saw then across the way

As the dawn sky was streaked with the blue

I saw a hand there waving forlornly

And I knew that it was you.

My love, long dead yet living still

(For love can't be refrained)

Our bodies, cold, mortal and faded to dust

While our immortal souls' passion remained.
