![]() The BrideA Poem by WhiskurzWhile laying in my bed at night I can hear her mournful cries I'm sleeping in the very room Where they say this woman dies She always stands at the foot of my bed But I'm afraid to look and see She doesn't leave for many hours She just stands there looking at me How she died, simply no one knows It was a hundred years ago I don't know what keeps her here But her spirit will not go Then late one night, I decided to look As she stood at the foot of my bed I was expecting a thing of awesome beauty But it was a corpse, half-rotted instead She said, "I'll follow you where ever you go, Where ever that place might be For you've seen the bride before the wedding, And now you must marry me" So I moved away the very next day While thinking I could hide But she's no longer at the foot of my bed For now she's by my side
