Death

The heart weeps a song forlorn,
them who have left won't ever return.
All their pain and suffering forever gone -
Death is fare after all!

The heart twists and writhes in pain,
With every beat it fears it won't sustain.
It's overworked emotions now idle, vacuum -
Death is fare after all!

The heart now feels restrained within,
Stronger it grows with each breathe - in.
It learns to rhythm without the dear one -
Death is fare after all!

The heart doesn't dread any further quest,
Loss and void had put it through test.
It seals its cracks pro tem as destiny stalls -
Death, my goodness, is fare after all!
