Made once in heaven,
Two souls bound there in love,
Bid to walk the earth
Together facing the trials of life,
True that tears may mark the way,
Truer that laughter wins the day,
Darkness never lingers
When hearts are afire,
A moment gone
Is three too long,
In mind and in soul,
Two distinct united to one,
Absence is painful,
Forgetting impossible.
Sometimes the loss occurs
Before you know,
Sometimes the emptiness
Is the first proof you feel,
What is no more
Was heaven’s gift rejected,
Memory becomes an enemy,
Joy remembered
Is grief now,
Demons of guilt
Shred the present
That now is ever questioned.
What fool life to live
That the fool chose,
Himself to blame,
Never as before,
Never the same.
