Lovers in the Shadow of Death

Lovers living in shadow

I felt your life in eminent pain
The depth of which escaped me

Not only the depth
of your love

This, we all tasted
Some more than others
Not one as real as you

But the depth of your death
None could fathom

You have destroyed me for ever
Granted of my sight
a deepened grain for life

But I do not want it
It taints my every movement,
so sinister and light,
with so many slackened hopes
Each one worthless and true

Molasses; Strength
My love; Fallen short
Book; Unknown
Us; In need of blessing

If somehow we could free them from sorrow
This would, at last, be that day
The one to remember and flourish in laughter
