Till Solace, She’ll Haunt

I remember that day and the cloud of uncertainty
That hovered over my head
As I probed the site she once called home

I was left to ponder
Whether death existed beyond those walls
I did not know her
Therefore her life held no importance to me
And if the reaper had claimed her then so it shall be

I’d speak a lie
If I did not admit that I eagerly welcomed her death
For this life is merely a glimpse until our final breathe
The heavy air that carried
The stench of a rotting corpse was quite overwhelming
Her excruciating reek was enough to lure insanity

And if the reaper claimed her, so it shall be
For it was my decomposed body
I have never bared witness to a corpse
How fitting to have met death at the door

I’d speak a lie
If I did not admit that I eagerly welcomed her death
For this life is merely a glimpse until our final breath
The heavy air that carried
The stench of a rotting corpse was quite overwhelming
Her excruciating reek was enough to lure insanity

I fear her ghost will haunt 'til the solace she sought
An end to all her maladies
Her decomposed body

That horrifying, monolithic, withering reek
Seething fumes patiently awaiting their release
From her monstrous, malformed, grotesque, bloating body
It was overwhelming to say the least

She had no kin, no one to share love
May she rest in peace?
An end to all her maladies
But I fear that her ghost will now seek me

I would lie if I did not admit that I welcomed her death
For this life is merely a glimpse until our final breath
Her excruciating reek was enough to lure insanity
