His thoughts

Linger quietly

In the stillness of night

He can no longer feel her

She has left him, in spite

Of his pleads to her heart

Til the end of his days

Vowing always to love her

Then, the pain starts to weigh

Heavily, the aching, in his chest

This wasn’t what he had planned

Realizing now, the absence of her

Is really more than he can stand
