Will She Cry

Will She Cry

Life goes on 

Are so they say

We live for the moment 

We live for today

The years together

Gone in a flash

What once was flesh

Is now mere ash

But will her heart 

Sink in her chest

When what remains

Is laid to rest

Will she remember

The love once shared

When the soul walks through

Life’s portière

Will her hand reach out

To clutch thin air 

For one last touch

In sweet despair 

As the sweet refrain

Of death’s lullaby 

Slowly fades away 

Will she cry
