Is aching in every beat

The heart is breaking

With each repeat

Sounds of love

Seldom slip

When days of mama

Flow off the lips

Its painful to watch

The ending days

Everyones been there

They never see

Only their ache

Do they perceive

This ache runs deep

And extremely long

As the body

Deteriorates underground

What an odd routine

For one so dear

Underground and far away

Never to be seen

Never heard

But the pain in the heart

Goes on and on…
