Constantine's letter to Justine




I knew you 

Once 


You know 


Followed you 

Blindly 


Into life's 

Blistering snow 


From Galilee 

All the way 


Right up to the blue sea 

Where the Lords waters 

Flow


But then you tragically 

Left me


Called Home 

Suddenly 


By Father Death 


As if it was preordained,

So here I sit all alone 


Lost in the early falling 

Morning rain


With no one to call or 

Visit as a guest 


But life and liberty 

Go hand in hand 


So I guess I'll wait until I see you 

Again 


To share my favorite life stories 


Filled with wild myths and old conquered glories


When the Good Lord finally decides to 


Deliver me 

From here 


The AvÄ«ci Hell 

The cruelest of all the Purgatories 


So good night 

My old love 


And 

Until then 


Whisper 

Blessed be 

Constantine


Look after yourself 


Amen

(After emails regarding viewers needing more supernatural monologues. Here's one whispered on a rainy Bank Holiday. Salute.)
