If pictures could speak a thousand words
Then the image of you laying in your coffin
Lifeless, whose soul has left its vessel
That image of you which is now
Forever embedded in mind
Speaks volumes more than any picture could
It like a spade has dug so deep
That is has touched my core
its touch has released all the pain stored there
I tried to stop the tears from flowing
But moments of life coursing through your veins
Rushed to mind like a speeding train
And the flood gates were opened
Though cries were not heard
Tears were seen as my broken heart bled
I curse the day you departed from us
Left us with tears and broken hearts
Which can’t seem to heal
If eyes are the windows to the soul
Your windows are permanently shut now
No light, not love can escape from them
You left us wishing for peep holes
To gaze at your loving soul once more
So that we may find peace in the thought
That we’ve said goodbye for eternity
Goodbye, now everlasting
