Cold Kingdom
March 6, 2016
Overwhelmed by heavy dolorous grief
Burden so big I feel like I could drown
Broken, pale, my soul aches for relief
My cold kingdom ruled with a fruitless crown
Though once you promised me eternal love
I weep as you slumber in earthly bed
Flying vultures and crows circle above
And here I stay, frozen, lonely, undead
But this mangled heart may beat once again
Given a second life with someone new
I will continue on despite the pain
My dear, but don’t think that I forget you
Now please, give a kiss from beyond the grave
Which will sustain me ’til the end of days

Amazing! This work is truly beautiful!
I was inspired by the British TV show, In the Flesh. Created by Dominic Mitchell, it depicts the aftermath of an event known as the Rising in which people rose from the dead. The government has managed to find a "cure" for the so-called Partially Deceased Syndrome and is now trying to reintegrate PDS sufferers back into society. The major storyline follows the experiences of the main character, Kieren Walker, as he returns to his hometown of Roarton and discovers the repercussions of his death.
