Aging and Death

"Eternity's Embrace"

In death's grip, my love lies still
His chest no longer heaves and wills
His eyes now shut, his breath now gone
My heart is shattered, my hope withdrawn

But in the chilly embrace of eternity
I'll find him waiting, a soul set free
We'll dance amongst the stars above
Forever bound by an unending love

06

Aging and Death

"Fading Memory"

The world continues on its way
But I'm frozen in this fateful day
My love, once warm, is now so cold
His life extinguished, his story untold

I cling to memories we shared in youth
But they fade like ember losing its truth
The pain never eases, the wound still raw
I mourn my sweetheart, my heart in thaw

07

Aging and Death

"Gone But Never Forgotten"

In silence, I mourn the love I've lost
The one who held my heart, at any cost
A cruel fate that snatched him away
Leaving me with memories to sway

But he lives on in every starlit night
In every sunbeam that gives me light
His love still carries me through each day
He may be gone, but never far away.

Aging and Death

Until We Meet Again

The world is now a quieter place
Without you here to light the space
The sun still rises, but doesn't shine
Without you here, my heart, my spine

Memories of you, they flood my mind
From the laughter we shared to the tears we cried
The moments we lived now feel surreal
As if the time we had wasn't real

You were my everything, my every thought
The one who always kept me taut
With you around, I felt complete
Now I'm lost, feeling defeat

Oh, my love, how could you leave
Without you here, it's hard to breathe
Every day I wake up and hope it's a dream
But reality hits and it feels so extreme

I'll miss your voice and your silly grin
The way your eyes sparkled, inviting me in
Oh, my love, how I long to hold you
To laugh with you and just be with you

But death has come and taken you away
Leaving me here, in a world so gray
I'll cherish every moment we shared
And hope that somehow, you'll still be there

We'll meet again, one day, I'm sure
When time has healed and made us pure
Until that day, my love, rest in peace
And know that in my heart, your love won't cease.
