The One Thing Needed In Life
To get and to love the women I want, I must take action
But for this, love and affection would be only a fraction
She was a glory, and a shimmering star of hope
Hope that is, of a life that was next to nothing
For her past life was incomplete, and haunted
With us, there was a certain something that was wanted
For that nothing became a bond of two lives; entwined
I gave her back the one thing that kept her going
Neither belief nor love was the thing, it was simply life
A life that had been gone for quite some time
A life taken long ago by a tremendous burden
She was grateful, but was still struck by this new life
No one lived this long with what she unknowingly had
The months past, and she became concerned with life
Collapsed, she needed my strength to get her through it
For the one; the one last time, until she was taken once more
Taken by the darkness and daring to believe in life
For life lead to death as death to life
Lying next to her, I pray she hears the words I’ve spoken
Caring her into eternal rest, I must take my one last breath
For the angel of the darkness has brought us to our death
