A poem / song about a widow / widower

You used to light your incense.
You used to light my life.

You were my sun at midnight.
But now you haunt my nights.

You fall down in those nightmares.
Still keeping me up all night.

I can't go on much longer.
I'm 'bout to lose this fight.

But we made that oath after seven years.
We promised to fight each others fears.

And ever since that cliff haunts me.
I lost you now I am broken.

Death did us part,
Ripped me apart.

Death did us part,
And broke my heat.

You soul still lifts my spirits,
But now it's bittersweet.

Your memory is my life force,
But the pain still makes me weep.

You splattered in that chasm,
But live on within me.

So I'll keep that oath made of seven years.
I'll keep on fighting off your fears.

I'll overcome all that haunts me,
I won't myself become broken.

Death did us part,
But we're still together.

Death did us part,
But love is still our cart.

Our cart will keep me going,
Till I am old and grey.

Our journey keeps me company,
So I wont go insane.

I'll always keep your memory,
Till my mind leaves nothing left.

Death didn't part us,
I feel you here.

Death cannot harm us,
'cause love can't die

And now I light your incense.
Your memory lights my life

You're still my sun at midnight.
You keep me up at night.

I often dream your smiles.
Your hair blowing in the wind.

I'll meet you when my time's up.
I'll see you up above.

I remember every smile.
I remember all our life.

I'll always keep on going.
because you'd never let me die.
