Broken Heart

 

They were married fifty years, at least if you asked that's what they'd say

When one of them left on an adventure, the other was surely on their way

They were attached at the hip, you could ask anybody who knew their name

During the battles through fifty years, their love always remained the same

 

It was an emotional winter afternoon that changed their lives for the worse

They made the plans for the three speeches and put a down payment on the hearse

Everything was planned to perfection, for she believed he deserved not a flaw

The guests wide eyed in amazement, for they could not believe what they saw

 

A few days after the tears had ceased, more breaking news was revealed

Their daughter opened the mailbox to find a letter that was tightly sealed

As she read the words on the paper she couldn't help but fall apart

Her father died of cancer, and her mother of a broken heart.

[Black Cat Fever]

Very very tragic and sad. There is a deeper story in this one, I think. Very impressive work and so very believable.
