Love’s Farewell

I kissed your lips and whispered to your soul "come, my love, it's time to go."

And as you lay on death's recline

I took your hand, so cold in mine.

Lying next to your diminished form

My body trembling,

keeping yours warm

Your rasping breaths came long and low

I said again,"it's time to go."

The poison stung just like knife

You were my love

You were my life

Our hearts together beat

Soft and sweet

And in the next life

Again we'll meet
