Gone

Alas my love I have broken down the vestiges of life 

to bones and ashes grey 

I’ve known it all my life

I would be the one to wed 

thee to the hot retort 

The burning ash is such a sight 

to see

It reminds me of the times

when you burned for me 

Alas the time has come and gone

you have been set free 

the timelessness of tender love

again shall never be

I just love your third stanza, this is one emotional read, but so well written
