A void has been occupied by thoughts and actions on this day
Your flesh is still present in the world
But I’ll never speak to you again
The voice that once made my heart smile
Controlled by vocal cords that are in decay
Silenced from my ears forever
Nothing can allow me to hear it again
I look one more time at the flesh that glowed with so much life
Prepared to close the coffin and step away into new light
I will never see you again
Nor will I ever hear your voice
Death is cold at times
But in this pain I shall rejoice
