A love story, the passing of a spouse, but their love is uninterrupted by death

Defying realness Telling me still more She’s not what she appears to be, not now, not ever Black, hollow portals to her self I knew her I loved her I can still see her Lying eyes wide on the white table She still loves me She will always star in my life’s fable In my purgatory of love, I will always remember her eyes wide Anguish I hope will subside Eyes wide corpse

This is really beautiful... Love doesn't end from one day to the next. Not even by the anguish.

Love lasting beyond the finality of death is an intriguing idea - eyes wide corpse!
