At dusk I'll go and remember
By the tree on violet hill
There it seems like time stands still
By morning I know I'll be gone
At dusk I'll go and remember
By the tree I'll sit and wait
Hidden long accepted fate
By sunrise I know I'll be gone
At dusk I'll go and remember
My girl as she used to be
The town life again I'll see
By daybreak I know I'll be gone
At dusk I'll go and remember
At dusk I'll go and I'll die
At dusk I'll go, I'll see her
But by dawn I know I'll be bones

The author's comments:
I wrote this poem to go with a story that I've written with the same title and it tells of a boy who lives in a town full of flesh eating monsters that were once the residents but were turned by the girl he speaks of whom he loves. He decides that he is tired of hiding from the monsters and decides to let them kill so he waits for them to come at night by a tree in the center of the town.
