WHAT MAKES ONE'S LIFE CONTINUE TO GO ON
IF IT'S ONLY A SHELL AND THE PERSON IS GONE
WHY ONE'S HEART YET BEATS IN THEIR CHEST
WILLING IT TO STOP, CRAVING DEATH'S REST
AS ONE CAN HURT UNTIL CONSUMED BY GRIEF
ENDURING WHAT IS AND DEPRIVED OF RELIEF
THE SUN WILL STILL RISE AND THEN IT WILL SET
ALL LIFE GOES ON WITHOUT A HINT OF REGRET
