What Does Death Mean to Love

Death to love is light fading into darkness

It is the absence of breathable air when your world collapses into the afterlife

Death takes the world built over years and plunges it into the abyss of being left alone 

It differs from a run to the store, or going to work for several hours. It is leaving your house and knowing there will be no return to warm arms or a loving kiss.

Death to love is the end of time

The sun will continue to rise, and yet the bright light it once shone on your world is dull, because the light in you has turned to darkness.

Death to love is light fading into darkness 

Sleepless nights, fearing to touch what was shared, fearing that smiling betrays.

That is part of what death does to love

Death takes your dreams, whether young or old; time stops with the heart of your love

When you are young, you dream of all the things you want to do; when you are old, you daydream about all the things you have shared

In one loss you end with regrets for roads not taken, in the other with memories of a life well loved

Death does not steal love; it places your life in a time capsule from which you have to pull bits and pieces from.

Death takes the smell of home away and leaves a catacomb you must traverse to find your way in loneliness

Love was your guide into the future. Your noble purpose in giving your best to the one you love

Death constricts your purpose and leaves you wanting for days gone by, or for better days when you meet again

It is always the firsts that hit hardest. The first birthday, the first holiday, the first anniversary.

There is no joy in celebrating as death has stolen the light of your life worth celebration.

Death to love is eating alone once more

Death to love is waking up and not feeling the warmth of your lover’s skin against you

What does death mean to love

It means you must walk alone, surrounded by people asking if you are okay, knowing you will never be the same.

Death means to love; it is final.
