Love Poem: A Wretch

A Wretch

Standing by the graveside,
straps lower you down. 
I glance towards heavens high,
where solace seems to frown. 

Broken and bewildered, 
my soul has turned to stone. 
I cannot accept mortality, 
whilst denial fills my own. 

Sinking into grief so deep,
loves price, for being born. 
Death I curse and spit at thee,
A rancid rose bears thy thorn.  

If come a day, when darkness burns,
Ill stoke the fire, in mourn you’ve borne.
