Epitaph Trilogy part 1

an epitaph



i lay my head in bliss repose

from the cold night dread
from the world i shunned
ever a coward
i hid, i run
in here, at last,
a resting place

stay, fair stranger, stay
share a love long held bound
share a need that will not die
i wait eternally
as i dream in sleep
for thee – a friend
to come to me.
