A Memorial To Lost Love

Closing doors to a former love Like graveyard soil thrown down a coffin Will then be sealed by the rain above To silence all passion felt therein. Farewells like flowers lace the grave Will soon dry up, wither, and die Tears that flowed can never be saved For the former love, in sleep there lie. Closing doors leaves a permanence Love's epitaph of finality Snuffing out all remaining essence To face the inevitable, Reality. Goodbyes are distant words unsaid Only the speech of grieving hearts Bury the love that is now dead Its cooling embers too soon depart.
