Mara (October Evening)

One dull and dreary October evening, my love called out to me The outsides cold and you have no coat, come and warm your feet I had not the courage to turn her away, so followed obediently On that dull and dreary October evening She held my face with her hands saying it felt wrong As none of the warmth she radiated could touch my soul Losing the courage to tell her the truth, I replied carefully On that dull and dreary October evening Love my skin it is blue but nothing ails me And the chill does not affect me Look in my eyes do you see signs of life, has light escaped me Feel my pulse beneath my skin, you will feel no beating On this dull and dreary October evening A cry of dread she backed away at the realisation Of who she loved and all was left her spiteful figmentation I'm sorry I said, I'm not really here I'm sorry I said, I'm not really here
