And I Will Always Love You

I made vows to never depart 
away from her
But alas! Yesterday was her 
last day with me
Oh! How I wish fate would 
travel as I prefer
Constantly listening to me 
and voluntarily agree

I sat right next to her as she 
suffered
Suffered from the merciless 
disease
That smote her with a rusty 
sword
Sword that brought her 
down to her knees

I looked at her hopeless 
wrinkled appearance
Her flowing tresses have 
now lost its dye
She gave me a weak smile 
as I glanced
My conscience can't smile 
but just sigh

I grasped her hand while 
she lay on the bed
Motionless like a leaf on a 
flowing rivulet
Her existence now hangs on 
a fragile thread
I deeply desire to own a time
controller with reset

Its been an amazing 
adventure staying with her
We occasionally argued but 
it didn't proceed long
And for ever and a day 
cherished each other
For our love is eternal and
exceptionally strong

The white blank sheets on 
which I inscribe
Requests me not to drench 
them with tears
While the brutal death looks 
at me and gibes
But I know life goes on and I
shouldn't fear

Because I still treasure your 
golden memories
Deep down within my mind 
I still got the views
Reminiscences of how we 
first met and our first kiss
And how you whispered in 
my ears 'I will always love 
you'
