There were flowers

In the window

Of the house you once lived in

Llillies half fainting

Craving sleep

I walked on by

Thinking what could I keep

From the past

When we were close

My thoughts were empty

You were free

You didn’t die

You were just dead to me.

You start with a lovely, gently, but sad image hinting at the hurt to come. 

That brutal last line eloquently illustrates your heartache.  So powerfull.
