The fire burned low<\/p>\n
And a chill found my bones<\/p>\n
As in the desolation of the moment I waited<\/p>\n
The wind outside howled<\/p>\n
And the rain began to pound<\/p>\n
But still I sat with my eyes fixed on the door<\/p>\n
The candles flickered<\/p>\n
And the shutters clapped<\/p>\n
But i knew inside he would always be back<\/p>\n
My heart raced<\/p>\n
As my lungs kept pace<\/p>\n
In a delirium I almost succumb<\/p>\n
With a loud creak<\/p>\n
enough to peep<\/p>\n
He beckoned me off this mortal coil<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
