Is that a flicker of second thought?

Did your chest just heave

With a sigh

Of regret?

Show some emotion.

Cry! Scream! Laugh.

Do anything

But look at me with those empty eyes.

I know you Still love me -

Please... PLEASE...

Don't leave me.

A tear rolls down my cheek.

I catch a last glimpse

Of your unseeing eyes,

As the casket

Closes

On your cold

Heart.
