I will love you until
the flesh that clings to the bones
we know oh so very well
becomes food for the worms
and vanishes away to nothing.
I will love you until
the mind that makes us think
so clearly and effortlessly
morphs and shrinks
so an empty skull is all that remains.
I will love you until
my heart that keeps me alive
that controls my whole being
stops beating for you and for me
and until I am just
bones in a grave.
