what did you mean by those words?

Those cruel

cruel

cruel

words?

Was it in Summer when I kissed your face?

Brushed away your tears as I placed my lips

against your soft

soft

soft

eyelashes?

That yellow dress, I loved the way it blew in the wind.

As it wrapped around your ankles and thin frame.

And remember when we climbed those mountains?

When we went up

up

up?

I really loved you, you know?

But in that small bed, your face white as snow?

That was cruel. When you gripped my hand.

And the heart beat we danced to stopped?

And when you whispered, "Goodbye"?

Those words left me as broken

shattered

dust.

"Dust to Dust

Ashes to Ashes"

These words spoken at a funeral hold great meaning and a heavy burden for loved ones. The body that once held a human soul is an empty vessel that once loved us so much. It was once a temple of emotion. But when we die we find peace.
