Oh! Sadness Lives On by Mike Williams 04/28/2016 @ 11:22 A.M.

Her eyes are closed, 
As she's eternal sleeping. 
Her lips ice cold, 
In their silent keeping. 
She hears me not, 
With moans and weeping. 
My beloved is gone, 
Oh! Sadness lives on. 

Her cheecks are pale, 
Agony the fatal hour. 
The blush which fades, 
While death may lour. 
Before me she lays, 
And I crying cower. 
My beloved is gone, 
Oh! Sadness lives on. 

Her place of rest, 
Is laid a stone. 
Deep within my breast, 
An aching of bone. 
A heart for two, 
Now beats all alone. 
My beloved is gone, 
Oh! Sadness lives on.
