Could you hear my heavy breathing
Across the night death knocked once
Sped in to steal the smiles
In pine box rests on silent rose
Mourners that cry out forget
Why still the sound of labored breath
New, the uncertain whistle and lately
Sounded from ever-smiling lips
Lingering the memories hold
Fast the portals ofmy mind
The way reflecting eyes were met
With yet another softly said hello
This heart calloused shallow still,
Slow the death of days and sad the morn
Still now before the grave I stand
Forever painful the etching on my mind
