Sweet,
Sweet Love
Why
do I have to say goodbye?
Our
hope was stolen by tragedy.
Time
was taken from your life.
No
words do you need to speak.
Within
your eyes, I see our love realized.
Your
shallow breaths
Your
suffering body begging for release.
My
swollen throat from tears I’m keeping in.
Sitting
here, I want to scream.
You
were always the tower of strength for me.
My
safety, where my head rested upon your chest.
Trembling
lip, I bite to keep still.
I
will not let my fear and heartache be your last memories of me.
Stories
of our favorite moments,
Will
become the best moments of my life.
Late
nights up laughing.
Talks
watching the morning sun.
Even
fights with dishes thrown.
From
the instant, our eyes first met,
You
owned my body, mind and soul.
Now,
your hand once strong,
Grows
frailer between my fingers.
Even
when your last breath is taken,
My
love for you will never weaken.
When
your eyes finally drift close,
Wherever
it is that you go,
Please
always remember,
Apart
from my heart, you will never be far.
