Mar 2013
Here she lies, beneath our feet,
Six feet under, nice and neat.
Alone, cold, in the dark, marked box,
No movement, not a pulse from a heart that’s locked.

Cold, glassy, unseeing eyes,
A girl too young within the coffin lies.
Pale, unmoving with expressionless face,
Lost from the world with barely a trace.

Just a stone that rests above the ground,
Marking the body that makes no sound,
A few words inscribed to say,
Why she left the world this way:

‘A broken heart, that couldn’t mend.
Here she lies until the end.
So have hope despite the pain,
Learn from her death there’s much to gain.

How a young girl’s life was wasted,
Before love was ever truly tasted,
Her heart gave out from the despair she felt,
When she saw how fate’s cards were dealt.’

Her woeful hands took up the pills,
She took them all. That’s how love kills.
She ended it all as she could not see,
Just how bright her future was going to be.

Understand that although she’s moved on,
The love she felt is still not gone,
It followed her down into the ground,
Stuck in her heart that makes no sound.

She’d found someone to give it to,
But they gave it back and left her blue.
Barren and cold as her heart is now,
She lived all this time like it somehow,





Her message to the ones she left behind,
‘Don’t be fooled though Love is blind,
It sees within your very soul,
Keep some of your heart, don’t give it whole.’

Rest in peace fair Maiden of Despair,
Lie in your darkness, free of care,
Lie in your silence free from thought,
Free of whom your heart had sought.

And so a Broken Hearted Eulogy,
To guide and help both you and me.
Think of the girl, who so early died,
And take her within, keep her inside.
