The dimming eyes turn a muddy gray
They can't hold the blue of the sky
Though I know nothing is forever to stay
I am agonized it's going to die!
Death's face is cruel and bare
It doesn't spare even the innocent
Just a month or so it was there
The devout say its time is spent!
I can't accept a tenure so brief
Though they say god wanted so
I feel enraged blinded with grief
A fleeting while and it has to go!
Why at all did god send it then?
If it came and soon started to pack,
Leaving in me the bitterest pain
That my love couldn't hold it back!
