The year nears end as does this day
Though thoughts of you in heart still play
Their role where love did come when then
Brief but kept my dear now friend
I watched as seasons brought me too
A place of peace, a place where you
Shared a smile that still wears on
My heart and soul of days now gone
Yet in sadness, remorse still holds
A piece of warmth when I unfold
The past to present, the now once here
Here where x marks you were here
Here beneath a chest where key
Was always yours to heart in need
Needs no more as time moved on
As does this day and year our once upon
Love does keep through colder nights
But war rages and loss takes flight
As if heaven had called you home
Leaving what's left, drawing alone
