Nothing but a memory

Among many one heart stops
The person breathing one last breath
Trying to hold onto their mortaliy
Even though they fight their eyes still glaze over
Cold dark sickly gaze

Their cold pale skin
That once held warmth and color
Now is just a dream

The pain that the love ones feel is unbearable
As they watch the body being lowered to the ground
They mourn their loss
As a shovel of dirt is put on the casket one at a time

Till there is nothing left but a mound of dirt and a marker
To remind the people of their loved one
In time their face and voice will be blown away like dust
And they to will be nothing but a memory
