you are not Orpheus
you can save no-one
you are not Christ
you shall not rise again
everybody dies
there are no exceptions
you can’t cheat death
we must live with that
once you’re gone
you can’t come back
it’s a law of nature
you can’t fight it
loss is the price we pay
for the love we share
everybody dies
and that knowledge
costs us dear

5132: H. Bissen, 1798 – 1868.
