Companion for Life

Happiness so Brief

Fate so thrifty

Death attacks Swiftly

Plunders my Treasure

Steals my Forever

Misery herself guilty

Arrives with gifts

Like unforgiving Grief

Like wise loneliness

Like changing Times

Burdensome, tragic gifts

And a Companion for life

This darkened heart 

Marooned in love

Lonely and broken

Waiting for his return
