I once thought, death do us part
     but it did not, my love
     you are immortal, deep within me
     watching me through the eyes  
      of the sculptures we cast together.

      I will never forget the morning
      you lay still and cold beside me
      arms that once hugged, hanging
      lifelessly by your side, eyes shut,
      lips closed to beautiful words
      you conjured effortlessly
      lips and eyes of endless love
      for the world around you
      you were love and love you shall remain.

And yet
the carbon
that could've been
stars
instead made
you
