In death
In the solitude of night
She wanders aimlessly
Tattered dress of silk
Body dashing underneath
No breath to be found
Just silence in the moonlight
She dashes across the snow white ground
As the lake sparkles a icy blue
She stares at her reflection
No tears fall
No cry escapes
Nothing
In the solitude of night
A lone wolf stalks behind her back
Her friend and her foe
He gets closer
Making her remember
Marry me in death he had said
I'll fill your life with pain
That night the wolf had killed her
With those simple words
Why should I marry you martyr of death
She gasped as she choked on blood
Because you chose to kill yourself
Instead of fall in love
So now she's stuck between
Heaven and hell
The lone wolf walks away
Leaving her alone
In the solitude of night
Author notes
It just came to me with a disjointed flow. I hope you enjoy.
Prompt: Marry me
