reading an epitaph before your time
you dies so soon, my darling wife
i wish i had been the one to go
we had met in a blissful daze
in a summer long past in my life
we were young, our hearts were pure
and readily given away to others
but now youre gone, and i remain
destined to mourn until my time comes
and then we will meet again, my love
and our broken souls will be whole
sometimes i dream of your long lost face
and remanicce on the dawn of our love
why couldnt it continue, why should it stop?
but i have no control over our own nature
my heart will be broken until i die
and my soul divided until me meet
all i ever needed in my life was you
now your gone my existence is purposeless
the empty shell you left behind
cannot be filled by mortal means
it was whole until death did us part
the cocoon i now live in is broken
since you went my life was full of woe
my days passed without incident
i sat alone and thought only of you
my health slowly began to decline
then came your funeral, and so here i stand
at the foot of your grave, reading this poem
i weep as i say this, so forgive the sobs
Helen, i love you, i bid you farewell
