Something Breaks

When she leaves,

For her eternal abode,

Something breaks

No more the assurance,

Of her warm presence,

Nor any hope,
To see her beloved face.

Something breaks

What a blessing it was,

To just enter a gate,

And be engulfed,

In her fond  embrace.

Something breaks.

Tender and sweet,
Her memories wrap,
Like a snug soft sheet.
A lot remains,
But something breaks.
