Haunting

Was it cold that night,
      or warm?
I always remember it cold,
But maybe it was just me.

Seven months gone with
      his child.
And you in a similar fix,
Come to give me the news.

You�d marry her,
      of course.
Despite my pleas and tears
Though you wouldn�t admit to love.

At last I begged
      your mercy
�Tell me you never loved me.�
You denied me even that peace.

Did I ask you that
      lethal night
The question that�s plagued me since?
Why did you think to come?
