Bugsy

Death is something we cannot escape

And with it our hearts do break.

Always have I accepted deaths wonderful break

Of life that brings so much fakes

But who can deny the emptiness it leaves in its wake?

My heart empty,

Smiles stolen with all its grace

Life left hallow and nothing left in its place

How can I show the world my saddened face?

So final and complete

Leaving us all so very bleak.

Its certainty so bitterly final,

Why must it leave us so hollow?

No words to describe the misery inside,

No sincere laughter can hide.

A creature so kind, beauty so divine,

All of my love left unfound.

Never could you speak

Of all the things you felt

And now your absence has left me so weak

No choice but to play the cards fate has dealt.

In my heart I know yours was a love so pure,

That no one can compete,

The happiness you brought

Makes all else obsolete.

It is one thing life cannot teach

How to bear and overcome death,

Even when witnessing your very last breath

In my prayers are filled with wishes for your good health.

Silent tears are wept

And a broken heart left.

Alas, you cannot return

And so all I do tragically mourn...

You...
