My death anniversary



I've been dead for a year now
Yet she still comes to my grave.
Shedding tears with her eyes closed
As if waiting for me to come forth
And kiss those snowy lips of her
That once together with her cheeks blushed.

At that deserted place of lovers with no-
one to give the love they crave,
Her love will keep me accompanied.
Parted by the harsh reality of death,
There is a distance of life to cover.
But till then let's keep this love undefiled.

Motions stopped, emotions shunned, reality dismissed,
Our hearts resonate and time moves back.
And we relive those moments in our memories
Where once we were inseparable.
Fighting, side by side , those against us.
We were like unconquerable soldiers of love.
