Alone, I walk through our house,
As an old, and widowered spouse.
Alone, I tread through her garden,
Knowing my life is going to harden.
Alone, I sit in her chair,
Looking at her picture with a desolate stare.
Alone, I lay in our bed,
With thoughts of her in my head.
Alone, I gaze through her mirror,
As the haze gets no clearer.
Alone, I drink from her mug,
Yearning for nothing but her hug.
Alone, I read from her book,
Only her favorite; Captain Hook.
Alone, I cry by her stone,
Hoping soon, I'll have my own.
Alone, I write with her pen,
A letter to her, again and again.
Alone, I pass in our room,
The room that is now our tomb.
And, I smile, for I see light,
It was her, in my sight

My grandpa and grandma met eachother when they were 9, and had remained friends since then and were married for 47 years until she died of breast cancer. Life became very difficult for my grandpa, and I couldn't imagine how hard it was on him.
