Her tears could flood the world,
Her pain could tear it apart,
For he was where it all started
Fire had melted her frozen dead heart,
But he was lost to the world never to return,
All she had to remember him by was a small potted urn,
His dreams never accomplished,
Stuttered by her love,
For life itself had started,
Long ago inside her melted heart.
