Marred by Chelsea Danielle Naylor

Death leaves the heaviest mark
engraved on our souls

memories come and gone
now vivid, vibrant
pushed to our consciousness
by the heaviness
weighing on our hearts

Death leaves the deepest mark
sunken far beyond our bones

memories come and gone
now vivid, vibrant
pulled from our deepest reprieves
deeper than the marks
far beyond our bones

Death weaves with strongest thread,
linking us to places unknown

it is this mark that
solidifies in our hearts
in our minds
who and what we loved
but mostly why we loved.
