and then I wrote this...
That Which Never Dies
The last rose falls from her hand onto his grave
~
It falls
For what seems
To be
Forever
She cannot pull herself away
She will not.
Not yet
She cannot pull her eyes away from the words:
Lift your eyes, do not cry.
You’ll awake one day and feel no sorrow.
Trust in me, my love, do not fret.
Even death cannot pull us apart.
The sun shining around her makes little a difference
She reads the words and yet,
she is frozen.
The fresh green grass of spring has rooted into her heels,
Her heart,
She can no longer feel.
The slight breeze that dances through the blooming pink Magnolias that line the cemetery
While her eyes close
And her lungs collapse
Tearing her down onto her knees
Lift your eyes, do not cry…
Even death cannot pull us apart.
Please, my Dearest,
Please do not cry.
Death cannot kill that which never dies
