Heart-break
Severe…

How could she stay without him?
Taking comfort in each others’ souls
They dwelled together every day, every moment
     every breath…
How could she stay with such heart-break
     once he had to go?
How could she stay…

She took her broken heart home
To Him…

Perhaps doctor’s tests showed that her lungs
     were not well--
But I believe it was her heart
     that simply could not live without him…

Heart-break…

This one certainly gave me pause. So well done.

this is beautiful, it's just... wow, I dunno, I can't even explain how it tugged at my heartstrings.

A wonderful tribute to a beautiful couple. It is so hard to understand why they are both gone. Somehow it doesn't seem fair. However, I am glad they are together.

hugs, Marti

I must admit, I truly believe in a "broken-heart"...And it seemed that Dana and Christopher's Love was so very strong, it must have just tugged one too many times at her heart, to have lost him...

Thank you all for your replies..
