Embers Of Love

A room now hushed, where once their laughter danced,
She sits alone, in a trance, in a painful, silent expanse.
Beside the bed where he lay, his absence a heavy shroud,
She holds onto memories, though they slip like a cloud.

Their love, a blazing fire, now a flicker in her eyes,
As she whispers to the wind, her silent, anguished cries.
Cancer, the thief, stole him away, left her adrift,
In a sea of loneliness, in a heartbroken rift.

She watched as he fought, as he slipped away,
Praying for a miracle, for just one more day.
Now she's left with echoes of his voice, his touch,
A bittersweet reminder of a love that meant so much.

She'll gather the fragments of their shattered dreams,
And sew them into a quilt, with silent, tearful seams.
For though he's gone from her sight, he lives on in her heart,
A love so deep, it will never depart.

So she'll face the dawn with a heavy heart,
Knowing he's watching from a place apart.
And though her soul may ache, and tears may flow,
His love will guide her, wherever she may go.

Rest in peace, dear husband, in a world so bright,
For in her heart, you'll forever be her guiding light.
