Lying Together

There's a little cemetery at the edge of town In the evening she comes to me, when there's no one around I have to tell that I love her, though we're both all alone And I miss lying with her in our bed, at our home Why does love have to suffer, and make lovers cry How can one keep on living, while the other one dies We'll be joined in the end, I believe this is true But how can I get by in this place without you Bitter-sweet is the word, that I have learn thought my life And having you near reminds me, Dear, you still are my wife Next week I'll return here, I hope you come too Until the day comes, You lie beside me, and I beside you There's a little cemetery at the edge of town In the evening she comes to me, when there's no one around I have to tell that I love her, though we're both all alone And I miss being with her in our bed, at our home

It is always sad when a spouse or partner dies. I watched my mother go through it. It's been over 20 years and she still talks about it. A very sad poem, Jerry.
