• She looks up at you with a smile on her face.
    Holding her side
    Blood running through her fingers
    She looks pale against the snow.
    " You and I know .. I'm not going to make it." she whispers
    Her voice raspy
    Almost broken.
    " No.. Don't say such things " You say.
    Your voice cracks.
    The cold sting of winter cuts at your face.
    You wrap your sash around her waist.
    Blood gushes through.
    It's bright red.
    She looks around her and smiles.
    " They're coming for me " she says and coughs
    Her lips are stained with red.
    You can see she's getting weak.
    You put your hand on her cheek
    Shes practically frozen.
    " Who's coming for you? " Your vision blurs.
    You hear the distant cries and caws.
    " Look around and tell me what you see .."
    You look around.
    You both are surrounded by crows.
    " They're here to deliver souls .."
    She leans back holding her side tighter.
    Her eyes are slowly becoming white.
    " They're coming for me.."
    You shake your head
    " No one's coming for you, We're going to save you."
    She shakes her head
    As the caw in unison.
    She says
    "Just remember .."
    Her final breath closing in.
    " I always loved you .. "
    And with that,
    Her final words drifted
    On the black wings of night.
    Only to be seen
    By her lovers light.
    You stand and watch
    It's already to late ..
    You turn and walk
    To the pain you will now face ...
    " Good night my love ..
    I shall see you in a better place .. "
