stone statuette

I once had a love
whos feathers, like mine
were white as a dove
so soft and fine
 
we shared our lives
'twas heavens gift
sweet as honey comb hives  
my spirits hed lift
 
and with his soft kiss  
he stole my love evermore
and my heart shall stay his
no matter how sore
 
for the way it happened
replays in my mind
our loves abrupt end  
was of the worst kind
 
my life he defended  
from a cruel fate
his life had ended  
for I got there to late
 
in his arms he held me tight
his soft touch turned cold as stone
as the grey took his light
he still held on,but I was alone
 
while holding me
my lovers soul left
and all that he be
was a stone statuette
 
I saw his life fade
and the only sound found
in that cold dark shade
was salted rain falling down
