For your eyes only...
your thoughts were my only warmth.
With every falling grain,
disappeared my life, to be buried forever.
All that I had been over the decades,
now back into the earth.
When all my friends returned back to their lives;
mine, was now asleep in the earth's lap.
The world was lonely and dark;
I was writhing and decaying from within.
I lived only in the memories,
in your memories, did I survive.
I touch you in the flowers on the grave;
I hear you in the jingle of the church bells;
I see you in the cloudless night;
I feel you in the creepy winds.
In everything my dear, you haunt me!
I am now an aimless soul,
wandering the places of our past.
The sea breeze doesn't soothe;
the park swing doesn't excite;
the funny movie doesn't please.
Sans you, it all makes no sense.
I vowed, 'I give you my body and soul
and will be your man till death do us part.'
No, Death could not do us apart...
My death could not do us apart...
The body I gave is gone, but the soul is not...
Today, will be yesterday, tomorrow...
The present, will be past the next moment...
Memories are volatile dear.
Memories too will die.
But, these lines are eternal and never shall fade;
Preserve it, my dear, more than ruby and jade.
A dead man's gift to his beautiful wife...
a souvenir of our wonderful life...
Memoirs of a life so beautiful and lovely...
These haunting words... for your eyes only.
