Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Rejoin

In summertime we two did take

A getaway for the weekend.

We went to our fav'rite lake.

She was my mate and my best friend.

We went out in a rented boat.

It tipped and overboard she fell.

Her lifeless body came afloat.

For me it was a living hell.

Months later wintertime, and I

Return to the lake all alone.

I stroll along the beach and cry.

My choice I've made and won't postpone.

My last footprints be left in snow,

As into the iced lake I go.
