Heartbroken Forever
Have known many kinds of love and deep grief,
love has drifted away a withered leaf;
and my sad tears could fill the oceans blue,
death has come many times as a life thief.
My love buried by an angel statue,
his black tombstone is covered with mildew;
the deaths just keep coming with no relief,
I buried baby with a teddy new.
When I lost my mother I was shattered,
my heart broken in pieces and tattered;
for my mother was my anchor and glue,
and life became meaningless words scattered.
Each day I wear a mask of joy and glee,
so no one will know the sadness of me;
too many friends and family adieu,
father and grandma also souls set free.
So many pet cats I loved gone above,
each flew to heaven on wings of a dove;
when I think of them I become sad too,
the feelings for pets is a special love.
