Death
Her marble eyes glistened without love
the pulse of beauty flatlined
just a waxy shell remained
the sweet perfume of death
Her tender hands were cold to touch
nestled in eternal sleep
a flame extinguished in a storm
still burns inside my heart
Abandon me, for I am weary as the wind
estranged in perpetual grief
in the soft cell of frozen memories;
summer exhales into autumn mist
the pulse of beauty flatlined
just a waxy shell remained
the sweet perfume of death
Her tender hands were cold to touch
nestled in eternal sleep
a flame extinguished in a storm
still burns inside my heart
Abandon me, for I am weary as the wind
estranged in perpetual grief
in the soft cell of frozen memories;
summer exhales into autumn mist

Thanks so much...difficult to put into words what I experienced...I wanted so much to save her and letting go was very tough.

Thanks Selena. My mother died last year. So I wrote this, Though tragedy is hard to put into words.

I think you succeeded, it's very moderate, without emotion overflow, and that's what gives a permanent value to it. I'm sorry because of your tragedy. I can't even imagine how hard it is.
