The Widow's Lament

The widow sits, with a heavy heart

Her soul was consumed, by grief and dark

Her husband was gone, her world undone

A battle she fights, but cannot be won

The memories haunt, her everyday

The pain lingers, and will not go away

The love they shared, a flame so bright

Now extinguished, in the depths of night

The world moves on, but she's standing still

A heart so broken, it feels unreal

The emptiness, a void so vast

A pain so real, it will always last

The widow longs, for one more day

To hear his voice, to see his face

To hold his hand, to feel his touch

To tell him how much, she loves him so much

But life goes on, and so must she

In the memories, she'll always be

The love they shared, was forever true

A bond unbroken, forever new

And though she sits, with a heavy heart

She knows one day, they'll never be apart

For love endures, even in death

And in her heart, he'll always have breath.
