Love is something that is hard to describe, especially harder to define in just a single sentence. When in love, the couple will experience so many emotions of joy and sadness, regret, sulking, longing… Love is something extremely powerful. When you’re in love, you’ll want to spend time with that person. And when they’re not around, you’re always thinking about them because you really need that person, without them your life seems to be incomplete.

So what will happen if one person lives and the other has to leave for the afterlife.

1, Pain Under Sun © Joseph Nyamwega

Goodbye to you my true friend
You were there when I needed you
You made my life fun
You never left me alone
We had fun and laughed under the sun
But the pain has come
Death stealing the loved one away

Goodbye to you my elder sister
You were my guide all the time
Showed me the way whenever I lost my path
We smiled together, scare the world pain away
Shared and cared for each other under the sun
But the pain has come
Death stealing the loved one away

Goodbye to you my younger sister
You always pushed me to move forward
Always wanted success from by plate
Worked hard together for a better life ahead
Enjoyed and partied together under the sun
But the pain has come
Death stealing the loved one away

Goodbye to you my caring parents
Thanks for bringing me to this word
Thanks for being there for me all the time
Showed me love in first class honor
Cared and provided all I needed under the sun
But the pain has come
Death stealing the loved one away

Goodbye to you my all-time closest relatives
You made great family for me
Smiled whenever you showed your faces
Shared and celebrated together in various parties
Cried and encouraged each other under sun
But the pain has come
Death stealing the loved one away

Goodbye to you my trusted funs
You made my dreams come true
You always pushed my gear for the better
Without you at some points I would have lost
Protected my pen, every time with motivational words under the sun
But the pain has come
Death stealing the loved one away

Goodbye to you my faithful lover
Life was sweet with you by my side
Stress vanished away just by your touch
You always gave me a reason to be happy
We achieved a lot together under the sun
But the pain has come
Death stealing the loved one away

Goodbye to you my teacher
You thought me well how to drive life
You showed me how to make a living
You empowered me with knowledge
You lead my way into success under the sun
But the pain has come
Death stealing the loved one away

2, My Distance Lover © Eggy Jonson

Your love is a disease
One only death can cure
It weakens my bones
And takes away all my anger
Leaving motionless but pure

Your love is a dagger in my heart
Never to be pulled out or you will leave
Me lifeless, hard and lonely like a rock
Without form and tears to shed
Living dead with just memories

Your love is an atomic bomb
Too loud to turn down
Too mighty for loneliness
It erases all the pain of my heart
And no matter the distance..
It shakes my body with happiness

3, The Lady In Blue © William Thomas Fearby

I heard a tale quite some years ago
Whether it was a fable I don’t know
It was a story about the lady in Blue
A beautiful vision with a heart so true

She fell in love with her ideal man
Their lives together they did plan
But fate dealt them a devastating blow
Off to war her love was called to go

She promised to wait forever
for his safe return
But his plane was shot down
and Tragically he did burn

When she heard the news
she didn’t know what to do
Her life she thought was over
her heart badly broken in two

She put on her wedding dress
a beautiful shade of China blue
And swore she would always wear it
and forever she would stay true

For many years she wore it
and never fell in love with another
Her life was like a prison sentence
locked away and grieving for her lover

Sixty years passed and every single day
To him she remained honest and true
Dressed in her beautiful wedding dress
in a beautiful shade of China blue

She died a lonely death all on her own
with no one to love and hold
they buried her in a paupers grave
in her China blue wedding dress I am told

Every night she can be seen
outside the sergeants mess
Waiting for her lover
in her China blue wedding dress

And if you listen carefully
you can hear her weep and wail
The lady in the China blue wedding dress
with a face sullen and so very pale

4, Love Hurts © William Thomas Fearby

Him
Love hurts more than words can say
Especially when it’s cruelly taken away
Hearts that are broken are slow to mend
You lose not only a lover but also a friend

Her
I do know exactly how you feel I really do
Because my heart was broken before too
I lost a lover and a friend
And I wonder if my heart will ever mend

Him
My heart is broken so much can’t you see
I can’t see my any way out it’s killing me
Why did she leave me please can someone tell me why
I can’t seem to concentrate all I want to do is sit and cry

Him
I really thought you loved me I must have been a fool
You made me feel so insecure you broke every rule
You made me fall in love with you that was all a lie
I don’t know what to do now I don’t want to make you cry

Her
I did fall in love with you that was no lie
I didn’t mean to make a fool of you and make you cry
But your love was not enough for me I wanted more
So that is why I walked out the door

Him
I can’t stand the thought of you in another’s bed
The thoughts of you with him messes with my head
I gave up everything so I could be with you
Now this is what you go and do

Her
I left you for another that is true
But sometimes I still think of you
Your love was suffocating me
So I just wanted to be free

Him
I don’t understand how you could do this to me
I loved you so much I thought you could see
You broke my heart when you lied to me
But I was too blind and stupid to see

Him
I hope you feel guilty when he makes love to you
It was me who taught you just what to do
I can’t believe that you wanted to be free
When all the time you said you loved only me

Him
I can’t believe you could be so cruel
All my friends now think I’m such a fool
They all suspected what was going on
But that’s no conciliation now you have gone

Her
it was not my intention to treat you this way
I am so very sorry is all I can say
And I am sorry for hurting you so much
So it’s best we stay out of touch

Her
I want you to move on an find someone new
Because I am not coming back to you
I hurt you too much and I am so ashamed
I cannot bear to see your face again

Him
One thing I know since you have gone away
My heart has died a little more each day
Love has hurt me beyond repair
How can you move on and not care

5, Eternal Love © Terrie Brushette

I stand alone on the sandy beach
my tears flowing into the sea
because I know you’re out of reach
and no longer here with me

You looked so handsome laying there
In eternal sleep forever
The pain I hide is too much to bare
I want us to be together

But I am needed on this lonely land
for a little longer at least
to help and guide the people I love
giving them reassurance and peace

so I’ll be on the shoreline here
to cry more tears over you
On your birthday every year
to celebrate our love so true

Until it’s time to meet once more
to hold and love one another
as we did all those years ago
when I was your friend and lover.

6, Loneliness © Sandra White

A new day dawns once again.
I stare at where you used to lay your head.
I close my eyes, your face I plainly see.
That smile that could always bring me to my knees.
Those eyes that saw into the very soul of me.
My heart aches for the touch of your hands on my skin,
The taste of your kiss on my lips.
I’ve come to understand what the meaning of loneliness is.
I wipe away a tear.
It’s almost more than I can bear.
I pray for the strength to get me through another day without you!

7, Deaths Lover © Anonymous

Blue lips
Pale face
An unwanted place
The satin lining
On a silver coffin
I dream these things often
Deaths my freind
Yes he and I
Have had a heart to heart
And when time comes that I must part
I have promised him my heart
His black eyes
Can cut through lies
His silver hair
That’s oh so fair
An angel of death
He’s true to that name
I still love him all the same
That crimson color
A slash to deep
Any way that I can keep,
Him by my side just him and me
His is a beauty only I can see
The land of the living I do not belong
I love to hear his siren song
Death by a kiss is what I wish
Yes, by his deadly kiss
Not to touch is a crime
How I wish that he was mine
One day I will see him
Because I know that it will be him
That will come and take me far away
The day I die….that days today

8, Death Of A Lover © Melissa Kozuki

He was an amazing person
He died so long ago
His name was Sebastian
I loved him so
The day he died I made a vow
That I shall love no other
And that no other shall love me
I sit at his grave
Everyday and everynight…
…Just hoping to see him one last time
I miss my Lover so
His name was Sebastian
I am his and he is mine
These are the last words I shall say
I must now go to him
Yes I am on my death bed as I write this…
Goodbye to all and hello my love

9, Lovers Death, My Suicide © William Kirby

Heart pounding heavily in my chest,
and hands bathed in warm crimson blood.
Alone in the corner of the room,
and my nights companion tied to the bed.

All I recall is the dinner we devoured,
hungry after a long days work.
Then heading towards the master bedroom,
To lay upon the silk sheets, on the solid oak bed.

I revisit the passionate dance we spun,
as the erotic pleasures moved us together.
And the sensuous touch of soft skin,
as we caressed one another affectionately.

Now I find myself stricken with fear,
questioning our encounter.
huddled obmutescent in my discovery
that I could perform such deeds.

Quivering and crying through guilt of my actions,
I laid the blade upon my shaking wrists.
taking one last look at beauty that once was,
pressing cold steel, deep through my veins.

In those moments I heard two constant notes
as I sat in silence staring blankly.
The sound of the ravens wings beating,
synchronous with my pounding heart.

10, I Love You Still © William Thomas Fearby

The years have come and gone
But my love for you still lives on
Not a day can ever pass by
When I don’t think of you and cry
You were the greatest love of my life
You we’re my friend my lover my wife
Our life we shared together didn’t last
It’s now just a sad memory from my past
Our love seemed to fade and die
But I never really knew why
All our problems seemed to drive us apart
You left me for another that really broke my heart
I couldn’t stand the thought of you with him
I tried to win you back but I knew it was slim
He gave you everything I never stood a chance
Left with only memories of our broken romance
I hear you had three children two girls and a boy
Your mom told me your kids were your pride and joy
She also told me he left you in a mountain of debt
She told me you said you wished you had never met
She told me that you loved me and wanted me back again
I love you still but I couldn’t take the heartache and pain
I let you hurt me once my heart won’t take any more
You left me a broken man when you walked out of the door
You know how much you hurt me but I truly love you still
But I know I can never trust you I don’t think I ever will
Please don’t think bad of me but my life has moved on
I struggled to rebuild my life again after you had gone

11, My Lovers Death… © Lauren

Bath in my loves blood and desire,
Burning evidence in a hot fire,

My love do not look at this knife,
that will soon dissolve your life,

Look away,
Close your eyes,
I’ll ignore all your cries,
You can try to change my mind,
Be blind in all my trust,
Let this knife slowly rust,
Just one thrust in your chest,
Trust me it’s for the best,
You need a long rest,

Wait for me on the other side,
Where I will be your dead bride.

12, Death Calls Her Lover © Stan Davis

Sometimes in the night, I can hear her still
Her lilting voice trilling, across the rill
I see her apparition there, upon yon hill
And feel her arms around me, wrapped, so chill

Come to me, her words whisper in my ear
And love me like you did, in yesteryear
After death there is nothing more to fear
You’ve always shared my love, now share my bier

Life without my love is bland, and so sere
I’d sell my soul, to once more have her near
Without her I feel abandoned and so drear
With broken heart I turn, and shed a tear

13, The Death of Lovers © Clark Ashton Smith

On couches filled with odors faint and failing,
Divans profound as tombs, we shall recline;
Around us, with strange languid petals paling,
The flowers that bloomed where ampler heavens shine.

Our hearts, in their last love and ardor vying,
Shall flare to vast flambeaux before the end;
And in our souls’ twin mirrors doubly dying,
Their soaring flames, reflected, shall descend.

Some eve of rose and mystic blue shall brighten;
One golden flash between us twain shall lighten
Like a long sigh fraught with departure’s sorrow;

And the angel who unseals the sepulcher,
Joyous and faithful, shall relume tomorrow
The tarnished mirrors and the flames that were.

14, The Death Of Lovers © Charles Baudelaire

We will have beds filled with light scent, and
couches deep as a tomb,
and strange flowers in the room,
blooming for us under skies so pleasant.
Vying to exhaust their last fires
our hearts will be two vast flares,
reflecting their double glares
in our two spirits, twin mirrors.
One evening of mystic blue and rose
we’ll exchange a single brief glow
like a long sob, heavy with goodbye,
and later, opening the doors, the angel who came
faithful and joyful, will revive
the lustreless mirrors, and the lifeless flame.

15, The Death of Lovers © F. P. Sturm

There shall be couches whence faint odours rise,
Divans like sepulchres, deep and profound;
Strange flowers that bloomed beneath diviner skies
The death-bed of our love shall breathe around.

And guarding their last embers till the end,
Our hearts shall be the torches of the shrine,
And their two leaping flames shall fade and blend
In the twin mirrors of your soul and mine.

And through the eve of rose and mystic blue
A beam of love shall pass from me to you,
Like a long sigh charged with a last farewell;

And later still an angel, flinging wide
The gates, shall bring to life with joyful spell
The tarnished mirrors and the flames that died.

16, Death’s Lover © Greyhaime

A spiraling accent-
towards Heaven and
its beautiful arms-
Loving what I had
yet glad that it
was gone-

Speaking with heart
and loving with soul,
and Death became
my angel, my gentle lover-

He carressed me
with his arms
and held me close-

Leading me toward
the place unknown,
loving touch, whispered
words-

Lost I feel in
the darkend sky,
but the light shines
just ahead-

We decend to the place
so lovely and rare,
taken by him the
memories of despair-

In fates lost place
he brought me forth,
and spoke to me
softly when it ws over-

17, Loser Loser Death Lover © Blazing Dreamer

Loser loser death lover
Hanging in there one finger at a time
Laying in the needles of this addiction
We fight, but we never win
Death is and forever shall be our lover
Abstract pictures appear when were high as the stars
Don’t believe in the lies of this corrupted government
We’re scared stiff
And yet we move with fluid motion of a junky
Leave us in the streets
Dirty and Scum to the earth
We rule the night
The night crawler of this land
We are who we are
It’s so damn hard to fight what’s been in our veins since we were just 15
Life played it’s cards and we live them out
Destiny can never be changed
We have been defeated
This is truly the life of a loser loser death lover.

18, Lover’s Death © Demolition Lover

Vacant eyes and silent cries
The impact of your words
Still haunt my mind
Your bitter hate
And crushing lies
Disconnected from the world tonight
Don’t wake me now
Take me slow
Without words
We’ll make this death unheard of
The nightnare that occured
You stole the last word from me
I didn’t leave empty handed this time
The rain washed away the blood
I left behind
The remnants of the things she said
Written in the letter left unread
She took a bullet to the head
Blurred thoughts, then she was dead
Taken to the grave instead
As I look up at the sky
I can’t help but wonder why
The reason I am still alive
I wanna know what’s on the other side
The curiosity won’t subside
The razor held in my hands,so tightly
Temptation calling me
A second chance to end what’s happening
Red roses on her coffin
A prayer softly spoken
In memory of the day
She took her life away
Knowing she’s in a better place
The thought begins to fade
A solution to the pain

19, Guardian Angel © Tennille Pace

You were so beautiful
In every way.
So amazingly wonderful,
I think of you every day.

This is so hard to believe.
I miss you so much,
All there is to do is grieve.
Can’t call, text or touch.

I know you’re no longer here,
It’s so hard to say.
Every now and then I cry a little tear.
Then I remember you’re with me every day.

Not in sight, sound or touch
But always in presence,
I know you’ll always watch.
You’ll always leave me with your beautiful presence.

You were my soul mate,
We both knew.
Nothing can prevent fate,
Not even me or you.

I’ll always love you.
I promise to never forget
The boy who was so true
And left no regret.

I don’t believe your life was short.
As your father once told me,
This world is an airport,
And you, my sweetheart, have flown free.

Off to a new start,
A whole new world,
Always in my heart,
All tattered and curled.

Give us a big smile,
Even though we’re all hurt.
We all live our lives in a different style.
Knowing you’re resting is our only comfort.

You were my world,
My absolute all.
Now my heart has been swirled.
I promise to never fall.

My life is dedicated to you.
I’ll live my life,
just have to start anew.
You’ll help me; I know it’s true.

20, Lover’s death © Amana Jabari

No! She screeches
as sobs rack her throat
seeing only red
her vision blurs

as something warm runs down her chest
over and over again she sees him fall
again and again no one answers her call
No! She demands as his eyes say good-bye
tears land on empty lips
her head falls to his chest
silent forever more

21, Deaths Lover © Unsigned

She sits and waits in purgatory
Deaths lover forever lost.

Waiting for her masters call
or to feel his touch of frost.

His forest is her sanctuary
where she is forever… …lost.

22, The Lover Of Death © Romhain

I roll away from his moonlight flesh
Shining in the night tide
One last kiss on his sepulcher lips
His breath tasting like library shadows
His eyelids are battened against
The darkness that lays curtained
Behind them, obsidian orbs
That weigh my soul
I press a kiss as token coin
To each nearly translucent lid
Sovereign talismans
So the boatman will stop for him
One last touch, to run my fingers
Through his curls that tumble in
A midnight cascade across my pillows
I reset the alarm clock as
I get out of bed
So that he will rise in time
To be off to the River
To catch the barge to work
It’s kind of strange, some days
I think, as I turn on the shower
Being the lover of Death
