A poem inspired by "The Girl and the Pendulum," describing Cattrell's thoughts of his second wife as he stares into the empty water fountain before his visit to Cassandra.
The Anniversary
Years to the day
that I lost my wife
I lost my love.
How solitary it feels
To feel numb
On this special day.
For the memory
Is shattered
By the current loss.
And the heart
is confused
by its very own faith.
On this very day
The one who loved me most
was forever lost to me.
Happy anniversary.
