Oh passerby
Know that
Here lies
Another last
Great love
That never was

Unknown
Un-mourned
Untended

Without any event
As monument

Dead silent
Under the shadows
Of Cupid’s arrows
That never flew

Sad and awfully Poeish.

This is sad.
I’m not sure that it has connotation of Poe.
My first thought was a person looking at a grave headstone
thinking out loud, or maybe knowing the departed
or making assumption.

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself.
