Endeavored romance, bolstered and cried
Then came the night, my music died
One last attempt, a foiled finished taste
A devoted passion, soon laid to waste

Recovered contentment, felled for the count
Heartache and pain, a stable failed surmount
End of life with its completion of care
A quickened loss for incessant despair

The dark night recalled; cessation dispense
Atonement is sought, assume recompense
My last night on Earth, withdrawn in vain
My death for your love, this life for your pain

Giving your own life to save another from pain... that's the ultimate gesture of love. So well rhymed, Mark!
