The Widower’s Journal #2

By

We never said our goodbyes
My mouth would not open
Yours could never have

We never said our goodbyes
My eyes were too watered
Yours tightly shut

We never said our goodbyes
My hands were burning from pain
Yours icy cold

We never said our goodbyes
Mine read for the obituary to your dead ears
Yours buried away in the grave
Within your heart.
