Lilies And Remains.

My beautiful woman

Such a beautiful corpse

Rests in the old rocker

On a white, weathered porch

Garlands of black lilies

Enwreathe exquisite remains

Sometimes I still hear her

Softly calling my name

While dressed up so dilly

She still holds my heart

I know she still loves me

As she did at the start

Hope someday to join her

In everlasting embrace

And that we'll waltz together

For the years don't erase

The guilt that's my burden

Since I saw the red mist

Strong hands on a swan's neck

Which snapped, with a twist

Now accusing eyes watch me

As she whispers I'm wrong

And that cold beside her

Is where I truly belong
