LadyDeath awaits the coming of the true lover.
|
|
|
How long will she have to wait?
|
The waiting of the true love is the longest...but oh! Patience they cry as she burns slowly inside herself. She seethes with ache and anger at the unjustice of it all. When will her true love come forth and take her pain?
Away, diminishing, extinguishing the ache and anger only he can do.

The death
|
As she lay on the satin sheets surrounded by wealth and respect, she wonders, "What do I really own?"
She is answered with nothing. The beauty of riches has gained her nothing but a name well spoken, one whom everyone's heard of. But they whom have heard it shall die one day as she is doing now, and the name like torn shadows will be once forgotten as they were once learned. Like the poison she was given in secret to take her life so soon.
And as she lay there, drowning in her new found misery and pain, she doesn't realize that the love she once gave before accepting the one who gave her riches is still there. The man who accepted that love before her greedy selection to be with one who gave her wealth silently watches over her, with tears in his eyes...each tear a memory.
And where, oh where, is the man who gave her the wealth?
Laying in bed with the cook's eighteen year old daughter, speaking the same words of devotion and desire he once said to his dying wife. The poison she was secretly given...on his fingertips.

Revenge is sweet but blood is sweeter.

"I love you" he spoke, as he rushed his seed inside her. She smiled, knowing the words were in the midst of lust and passion and were not spoken from the heart.
The days go on. She is now the life support of her flower, a tiny child. She does not see the man anymore, for he claims to never have said the three fragile words to her.
He brags to ignorant friends of the joys of being "free". No extra weight to weigh him down. The responsibility is on her. Ha! He laughs.
Through pain and passion, the child is born and sadly, the woman dies. The man who once boasted, is now the sole caretaker of this tiny human life. Once
finacially steady, now working from day to day to survive.
