Lying upon the cold hard ground,
Lying there without a sound,
Steady and slow the pulse beats by,
Giving the feeling I’m ready to die.

Yet on I live and on I breathe,
Mourners stand by, ready to grieve,
On I listen to the ticking hand,
All around the mourners stand.

Tissues out and eyes welled ready,
Pulse still there, slow and steady,
Yet all are waiting for me to go,
But on I breathe, steady and slow.

Try me please, ask what you will?
No I’m not dying; no I’m not ill,
I’m waiting simply for my scene to close,
To see the end the writer chose.

Yes, it’s true, I’m nearing death,
Waiting patiently for my final breath,
How will I know it when it’s finally here?
Simply I’ll feel the shadows drawing near.

I’ll feel the shroud fall upon my face,
And feel myself leave this place,
Slowly and silently I’ll depart,
With the final beats of my breaking heart.

The faces are sad and full of remorse,
I’m scared of leaving but that’s expected of course,
So farewell world and welcome dreams,
Welcome the world that’s more than it seems.

Staying calm, remaining cool,
Remembering the golden rule,
Play it calm, keep it sweet,
Don’t let myself get swept off my feet.

Focus hard, remember your goal,
Don’t give way to emotion, forget your soul,
Avoid her eyes and move from her touch,
Keep it simple don’t tackle too much.

Keep your head, keep your faith,
Don’t push too far, keep it safe,
Talk as a friend, don’t talk too fast,
Don’t hurry your way through, make it last.

Then when is all said and done,
Don’t talk first let her be the one,
Give her space, don’t push a reply,
If she walks away don’t wonder why.

Keep your faith when you’re left alone,
Don’t keep texting, put away the phone.
Then the day that she does get back in touch,
You’ll know the damage done was not too much.

Here she lies, beneath our feet,
Six feet under, nice and neat.
Alone, cold, in the dark, marked box,
No movement, not a pulse from a heart that’s locked.

Cold, glassy, unseeing eyes,
A girl too young within the coffin lies.
Pale, unmoving with expressionless face,
Lost from the world with barely a trace.

Just a stone that rests above the ground,
Marking the body that makes no sound,
A few words inscribed to say,
Why she left the world this way:

‘A broken heart, that couldn’t mend.
Here she lies until the end.
So have hope despite the pain,
Learn from her death there’s much to gain.

How a young girl’s life was wasted,
Before love was ever truly tasted,
Her heart gave out from the despair she felt,
When she saw how fate’s cards were dealt.’

Her woeful hands took up the pills,
She took them all. That’s how love kills.
She ended it all as she could not see,
Just how bright her future was going to be.

Understand that although she’s moved on,
The love she felt is still not gone,
It followed her down into the ground,
Stuck in her heart that makes no sound.

She’d found someone to give it to,
But they gave it back and left her blue.
Barren and cold as her heart is now,
She lived all this time like it somehow,





Her message to the ones she left behind,
‘Don’t be fooled though Love is blind,
It sees within your very soul,
Keep some of your heart, don’t give it whole.’

Rest in peace fair Maiden of Despair,
Lie in your darkness, free of care,
Lie in your silence free from thought,
Free of whom your heart had sought.

And so a Broken Hearted Eulogy,
To guide and help both you and me.
Think of the girl, who so early died,
And take her within, keep her inside.

I’ll hold you till the morning,
Till the rising of the sun,
Till the dawn is breaking,
And its time I was gone.

I’ll hold you forever,
And when we’re apart,
Never worry,
For I hold you in my heart.

When we are together again,
I’ll kiss you more,
I’ll whisper my words,
And we’ll be happy like before.

I know it’s a while away,
And you miss me so much,
And I wish to hold you,
I long for your touch.

It’s going to take time,
I’m not going to lie,
You have your whole life ahead,
You did not die.

Never forget me,
Though I stand not by your side,
For I am still drifting,
Where angels fear to glide.

We were happy,
And you will be again,
My life is over,
But you’re spared the pain.

I know that you miss me,
And it hurts within.
I am now finished,
But you have yet to begin.

So miss me,
And want me,
And hold me inside,
For I am left wandering, where angels fear to glide.

I will always love you
And I will never leave,
But when I am gone,
Please do not grieve.
Although I was taken,
Too early and too soon,
I will be your summers day,
Like the one we had in June.

I will be that gentle breeze,
That caresses at your cheek,
And I will be that gentle rain,
That falls when you are weak,
And I will be that blooming bud,
That blossoms on the tree,
For I will be there with you,
Not just a memory.
So although I was taken,
Too early and too soon,
I will be there with you
On that summers day in June.

And I will be there with you,
As you walk among our dreams,
I will keep you together,
And hold you at the seams,
And when you are hurting,
Know that I am hurting too,
For I wish only happiness
And love to come to you.
I will be that sweeping hand
That moves upon the grain,
And I will be that distant wind
That calls out to your name.
So although I was taken,
Too early and too soon,
I will be beside you
On our summers day in June.

Rage through your tears, rage through the pain,
Rage through all things lost, and all to be gained.
Rage through the happiness, rage through the glee,
Rage through the love, and the loss of me.

Cry like you’ve lost your sun, and your moon,
Cry that I was taken, too early, too soon,
Cry and remember the times that we shared,
Cry and be glad that your life was spared.

Scream and call, and bang your fists,
Scream, it’s not fair that it should end like this,
Scream, and cry, and send me your tears,
Scream at the reality of the worst of your fears.

Sleep baby, sleep whilst you’re sad,
Sleep though the times have never been so bad,
Sleep gorgeous darling, and wait for the sun,
Sleep, sleep, for I am gone.

Smile when you’re ready and your tears have dried,
Smile, be happy, even though I have died.
Smile for me and the times we had,
Smile my darling, don’t make me sad.

Remember when we woke at dawn?
Remember walking in the autumn morn?
Remember how it felt to hold my hand?
Remember my darling and understand,

I am lost into the night,
The endless darkness, in endless flight,
I am lost and shall not be found,
In a world of shadows and free of sound.

I’ll call your name but you shan’t hear,
Do one thing, smile for me dear,
Try not to forget me or leave me behind,
Don’t leave me wandering at the edge of your mind.

I’m lonely here, and scared of the ghosts,
All the forgotten souls and despairing hosts,
You’re keeping me here, in this place of woe,
You’re holding on to me, you need to let go.


Let me move on and set my soul free,
For I am always yours, and you belong to me,
Find someone else, it’s time to move on,
Do not feel guilty because now I am gone.

So rage through the news of my death,
And curse the world with every breath,
Cry through my funeral as the coffin’s brought through,
And just think that once I belonged to you.

Scream through the nightmares as you remember I’m dead,
And think of the very last thing that I said,
Sleep through the sadness, the tears and the pain,
And sleep through the thunder, the lightning and rain.

Smile when you wake and I’m not your first thought,
We lived the life that together we sought,
Remember me baby when you walk through the snow,
Baby I loved you, and now, I must go.

There is a muse, She sings of love,
Of the moon the sun and stars above.
She sings of your eyes,
Of happier days and bluer skies.

— The End —
