troubled am I
for it died

like all things
i've done
and tried

it now a stain
a regretted thing
only a corpse
remains

the cadaver and I
sullen the two
it of death
that is true
although not wise
perhaps taboo
I wish it life
pray it anew

but it has died

like all things
i've done
and tried

it expired
into the night
down it went
with a gloaming sun
and I
the only one
upon it's death

wept
