Death Vase
Death
Death is forever
It leaves scars behind
Death is painful, it deceives
Death spares no heart from ache
Death is clever, it waits in the shadows
Death takes breath and leaves silence
Death leaves echoes of what was loved
Death is never fair, it leaves us empty
Death is never kind, it lingers eternal
Death haunts the hearts of those living
Death isn’t what you expected
Carries the endless sorrow
The heart endures
Death
