Death of That Love
November 15, 2011
The flowers sent hangs in the air
The mother cries
She comes down the alter
In her gown of white
He does not wait for her when she reaches the end
And the guest are dressed all in black
The tears are not those of happiness
The song plays the same
The flowers smell the same
The tears have not changed
He does not wait for her
And that is what kills her
The funeral of her heart proceeds
How close it was to a happily ever after
If only he had awaited her
And he made all the difference
In the death of that love

That's sad, but nice. It reminded me of the song "Just a Dream" by Carrie Underwood.
It's just my opinion that you shouldn't blatantly say that it's a funeral; the reader can infer that much, so i don't think you need that line about the funeral of her heart - maybe the "procession of my heart" or something? Just a thought :)
