That which was shrouded in darkness comes
Into view, the candlelight Illuminates and
Dispels, what her heart has misconstrued
He's not here, as the shadows alluded to
With Ink and quill, parchment in trembling
Hand, she wonders about the women, who'd
Sat in her place, as the candle sways in
A hypnotic dance
The cold lifeless room lends credence to
All that's been lost, Images dance by the
Candlelight, on barren walls, where photos
Of a couple in love, once had been placed
Dipping into the well, she begins to write, Henry was
The essence of my life, before perishing in this blood
Thirsty war, I beg you forgive me, this weak selfish
Act, my heart can't go on pretending, he's coming back
As the candle burns low, the room becomes dim
The young widow brings a cup to her lips, tears
Spill down her pale hollow cheeks, as she drinks
Down the passage, from her prison of pain.
