Love's Last Winter
She lies in cold soil, buried beneath the snow,
Her body is numb, her soul ready to go.
Everything around her is dark and dim,
Her eyes stay open, still waiting for him.
She knows he’s far, where she cannot be,
She has paid the price for love’s sincerity.
She wonders how some lovers turn immortal,
And with that thought, grows more emotional.
She loved him above all in her life,
Bearing her pain and scars, just like a wife.
But love is not what he longs for now —
He has changed... and so has his Love.
