Love Deceased

Song lyrics:

Bittersweet memories of love that's gone by

Sometimes brings a tear to my eye

I no longer even have the strength to cry

Bittersweet memories of love that's gone by

Passion was heavy and tenderness sweet

When she was with me my life felt complete

But cancer was something I couldn't defeat

Though passion was heavy and tenderness sweet

As cancer took over the bitterness grew

For I knew there was nothing that I could do

All the doctors lies I could quickly see through

And I knew there was nothing that I could do

My love I could see quickly wasting away

The pain and the agony with me does stay

Six months down the road it was her dying day

My love I could see quickly wasting away

She asked me to cremate her, so it was done

But that wasn't good enough for everyone

Her family buried the urn and did shun

The very last wishes of my sweet loved one

Some of the ashes I still do keep

Given begrudgingly though I did weep

Though I once did sprinkle them down in a creek

Some of the ashes I still do keep

The memory of her will not fade away

I'll carry her with me 'til my dying day

I care not what others may have to say

The memory of her will not fade away
