Painted Soul of My Heart

Painted Soul of my Heart

 

His memory lays away

Tucked in my coffin of loss.

His head hit the bed and he rested,

Leaving to him no cost.

Pine, his pillow

Roses, his crown

My joy in the knowing

My sorrow abounds.

In the loss he leaves me,

Painted soul of my heart.

He leaves before my going,

He leaves me without knowing.
