Death derrived from a broken heart
Holding on through sixty years
A married life that tore her apart
Watching her suffer through all the tears
Five days after his soul let go
Her spirit released with a sense of ease
Evidently seeing this chance apropos
Left this world in a sentience of appease
The caregivers burden lifted away
Decades of having him to attend
Uselessness surrounding her dismay
Wishing to be with her best friend
The tiny woman who no longer exists
Pierces my dreams with comparable eyes
She is quickly engulfed in a dark abyss
My only regret was our lack of goodbyes
