My heart still beats for you
A poem about love after a spouse dies

This was written after my husband died on March 07, 2021. Five years later, it's still relevant.
There is no way to comprehend
That your life has come to an end
I’m overcome with varied emotions
Like waves tossing on the ocean
I miss the smile that was on your face
I remember your warm embrace

With every pulsating beat of our hearts
We grew together, and not apart
Adversity forged a bond, unbreakable
Through trials we remained unshakable
Our love stood the test of time
I was yours, and you were mine

Now I’m here, and you are gone
I'm lonely and so all alone
You were my one and only lover
For me, there will never be another

Death came and tore us apart
But does not stop the love in my heart
It’s real, honest, factual, and true
Every beat of my heart is only and always for you
