Even now

lossmemorylovemortality

Even now

How deeply felt

The hand placed

Upon my chest

‘Your pain will go on’

Remembered so well

The words dwell

Deep within my heart

Even now

The hammer blow

The disbelief

My love is dead

There is no relief

The pain goes on

With every breath

Of my living

Her death

Still, so deeply lies

Within me.
