Never Again by Aimee Vaniglia

Your dark eyes gently close

As you fall into a deep eternal sleep.

The sparkle slowly fades -

Never to be seen again.

My heart cries out to you

Pleading for your return,

But you are leaving forever -

Never to come home again.

As I touched your hand

I wanted you to play and be a child,

But you were so still and cold -

Never to breathe with life again.

I miss you deeply day after day,

Emptiness aches inside me,

But you are now in heaven -

Never to feel pain again.
