Alone, Hope Cold As a Stone

She went to bed alone,
Not what she would prefer,
But there was only one
for her,
She longed for things that were

But her love had crossed
the threshold into
another life,
She was labelled widow,
To her she was still his wife

Death cuts deep,
Severs hearts entwined
in timeless love
And yet, you know,
somewhere above,
He is still with you,
More than ever, it appears to me
Cause love is more powerful
than death,
And though you can not see
His physical presence before your eyes
You can sense his company
