Death till we part
Across the glowing
Valleys of heaven
I am the only one walking these
Death Valley Coffins

Shall we all disappear
Without a trace of fear
We all fall apart
We lose everything
Love, fear, anger
It's just not there...

Do we not care
Although we dare
Vivid imaginations
It is only left that we
Die.... All alone....

Death till We Part??
Or is it just your
Imagination???

I found your poem to be sad and a little confusing. I am thinking that you must mean the words from the marriage vow, " til death do us part", but I could be wrong. Your poem seems a sad comentary on a heaven where there is no longer others, only death, no feelings only emptyness.

I agree, Martie, it appears to be about a marriage held together by vows and not love in which each is dying from lack of love, but if this is the case it doesn't come across clearly, I would suggest a rewrite in which there is a path for the reader to follow, not just scattered images
will discuss further if you want to clarify the meaning
