In spectacular multicolour splendour a new day is dawning
Life is sleepily stirring to greet the plumes of the rising sun
But I am still shrouded in the hideous darkness of mourning
I do not see bright sun but only the coal of a moonless night
The bleakness of the yawning emptiness that is now my life
Stretches desolate before me where once the path was bright
My love, my Soul Mate, you have gone where I can not follow
Mercilessly clawed away from me by Death’s greedy fingers
Now there is no soul left in me, just a shell, empty and hollow
Your last struggling breath was my last happy heartbeat
You will tread this path alone where I can not comfort you
Your lifeless cold body has become my only source of heat
I look dumbly from the gaping wound to the bloodied knife
