Where were the gods?

First, I saw her.

Pursued her, wooed her, fell in her love,

Touched her, smooched her, fell deep, by love!

Braced her, graced her, fell in her grasp,

Bugged her, hugged her, felt no time lapse.

And then I,

Led her, wed her, into my life,

She was, she was, a beautiful wife,

Talked we, walked we, holding our hands,

Smoked pipe, choked life, travelled far lands.

Then one night,

Woke she, shook she, sickened by heart,

Eyes red, byes said, played was her part,

Pale she, wailed me, grabbing my hands,

Cried she, died she, right in my hands.

Where were the gods?
