I saw her die
That woman,
Who saw the possibility
Of happiness in everything.

I saw her die
That woman,
Who danced with
strangers merely b’cos
she thought
there was a song in
everyone’s heart.

I saw her die
That woman,
Who died with the thirst
Of love on her lips
Who died with the belief
That true love was
What she shared with her husband
And motherhood, the love that
She showered unconditionally
On her children.

I saw her die
that woman
Whose world was shattered
And dead long before death in it’s
Physical form came to life.

I saw her die,
That woman,
Who never once let a tear
Come to her eye…
