After the Darkest Night

After the Darkest Night

In somber silence, Rohan stood,
His broken heart, misunderstood.
Beside the grave, he found no peace,
As guilt and grief began to increase.

The accusations, fierce and cruel,
Of harming the one, his life’s jewel,
He came to mourn, to bid farewell,
Yet whispers of doubt his soul would quell.

Her father, frail and wracked with pain,
Stepped forward, his voice strained and strained.
With trembling words and heavy sighs,
He painted a love no one could deny.

He spoke of Melissa’s vibrant grace,
Of tender moments they couldn’t erase.
A love once strong, now torn apart,
By tragedy’s cruel, unfeeling dart.

A father’s anguish filled the air,
His heartstrings pulled, his soul laid bare.
He pleaded for justice to be found,
As tears streamed down, unbound.

In that moment, sorrow intertwined,
With the memories love had enshrined.
A testament to a life now gone,
And a battle yet to be won.
