Poems dedicated

This is for you, my love

I hope you find the sweetest lesson

in the biggest tragedy

Because for you

the sweetest years are ahead of you

Pain is the only way

to your happiness

Your tears are that of an angel

that are entering into

the world of the devil

you will always have

the memories that no

tragedy can steal

times now are lost

blurred, unspoken

black

know that life is

like a dove

it is born, spiritualized,

travels, and dies

for you are the dove

in this world

lessons are learned

but always remember

when you die,

you become the angel
