She lacks the light in her eyes, the hint of a smile that I’ve come to know
There is only so much joy a body can hold
I miss her
You don’t know what it’s like up here
She seems peaceful now, at rest
More than that, love, I am overjoyed
Life was unfair to her
So it was, but that pain has died with me
She always tried to life live to its fullest
I’m more alive now than I’ve ever been
I can almost sense her here beside me
Yes, I am here; I will always be here
Almost hear her laugh, see her beautiful curls bounce as she runs
I remember that hot August day
Her temper grew until it boiled over as I chased her with the hose
I wanted it to last forevermore
She’s not the same anymore
You’re right, I am so much more
She’s not animated
There’s so much you cannot see
Upon her departure, I am lost
*Upon death’s arrival, I am found
