It sounds. Hard as bone, shrill as a siren.

I smile. I stretch.

I can't resist the siren, its call, to a new day.

I yawn, shaking off my tiredness,

A black sun arising, coating the world in its otherworldly light.

For I am grateful,

Yet... 

Wistful, maybe, for a time long gone.

I smile, everything just feels

So right, she was.

Right.

I... no... us.

We were never supposed to be.

Together, eternally, in

This place,

our little slice of heaven -

Hell, a burning landscape

so beautiful.

It blinded me to

our love...

Our suffering, as

we exchanged the vows which

I burn, as they do

bind us for an eternity in life, and

In hell.
