I sat by you, on this open meadow,
Shared your love, and hearts entwined
I loved your sight, Its touch, so mellow,
The truth – it formed, and minds inclined!
We treasured our time, companions by nature,
Thoughtless we were, of each other’s pasts
We loved this life, we let it mature,
In tune with love, which would not last
In the face of pain, you laughed for me,
Your sorrow so deep, to hide, you sought
Was it your pain mirrored in me,
That broke you, when vile death could not?
You had no care, for fear or death,
Death herself so feared your will
But you welcomed her, with a golden wreath,
Smiled once more, and went so still . . . .
Have you left me here, to die alone?
To watch my life leak through my heart?
What does my future now intone,
When Death took what you set apart …..
