Eternal Teardrops
I can't surrender you; you are mine
But I've depleted the comfort denial gave
Your relief, I must redefine
There is no life left in prolonged death
My love can not restore your breath
To your doorway, now, angels brave
The stars are yours, with Venus you shine
Transcend from flesh-bound brevity
Millstones ephemeral, all cease
Too light for gravity
So rise, in resplendent revere
I was wrong to keep you here
With tears, and a kiss, I release
You to eternity.
