Autumn came

But our time was brief

We bonded hard

Within our grief

She was broken

As was my heart

This love it was

True from the start

Some careless soul

Took away her light

Her tiny body

Too weak to fight

In my arms she lay

Death’s shadow near

In her final breathes

She did not fear

I still feel her love

Though her spirit’s free

I held her once

Now she holds me
