My dear friend Aki prompted me to write the response of a lover to his dying beloved’s question in one of my posts Would You remain Mine earlier today..
Here is what the lover has to say to his beloved who is dying, asking him if he would remain her’s after she is gone!
———–
my love, O my love
how it pains me as you depart for heaven
consoling my bleeding heart I shall cry
I let my tears to fall forever
readying myself to bear the pain
holding you in my arms so safely
I watch your gentle spirit relieving your frame
there’s only one thing I am craving to assure
I shall never free me, from your love so deep
the way I look at you now with my affection
I shall only open my eyes to see your face
I shall utter my words only for you
to answer your anxiety in this moment
I give you my word
I would
yes I would remain yours
even if death do us part
