An emaciated looking man of sorrows
set silently to mourn
the death of his darling bride,
In her loss, his greatest grief was born
She had been his constant companion
For a mere six years,
and for their many lost tomorrows
He wept the bitterest of tears

Inspired by the life & pain of a fellow poet,
whose wife of merely 6 years contracted & died of a lung ailment.
