Graveyard
wreaths and
flowers piled high
beneath lies a cask of wood
with his last remains
she watches from afar
until the last mourner leaves
and darkness falls
ifs and buts begin
to torture her disturbed mind
her lover is dead
no one sympathises
with her, it was their secret
not to be divulged
she has lived with it
for years, unquestioningly
sad memories
now she walks alone
to drop a rose on the grave
her farewell gesture
