Never forgotten,
Always in our hearts;
Here it has been written,
For those yet to depart.
Kind words starve sorrow ,
Fills lives left hollow;
Here to annul fears,
And dry the fresh tears.
Stone crumbles, and falls,
Chipped away by wind and rain;
Acceptance befalls,
Where there was once so much pain;
There are no more flowers,
The past is left behind;
Time and death devours,
Even the strongest bonds unwind.

Where there was once so much pain;

Even the strongest bonds unwind.
I wrote this a few days after reading epitaphs at a couple of graveyards. It's an inexplicable mix of emotions i feel when I'm at those places. It's such a somber place, yet there is still some hope and happiness. It's hard to see from an outside perspective.
