Till Death


Watching your body as it lay there so cold While trying my hardest to look so bold turning, I see people staring in spite cause you and I are dressed all in white so taking the stand, a few words I will say just to try and make the pain go away "When they said till death do us part I never really took those words to heart, But now I can see it was all for real and now this time I cannot be healed" So sitting down I’ll look towards the dirt and silently hiding my face full of hurt A battle so dark is now raging within But this time it’s a battle I cannot win..... Taking a look at the man i love so much I can feel my heart strings begin to clutch Walking away with my head held so low taking but just another painful blow turning my back, I stand there and cry why oh why did you have to die? Going home, I hide in our bed pulling the blanket to cover my head Smelling your scent, my eyes begin to burn for your touch and your kiss, I begin to yearn The Darkness comes and pulls me in your face, I see as my eyes start to dim Waking suddenly I reach for your arm only to feel the numbness of alarm So closing my eyes, I take a deep breath fighting to hold on to all I have left Feeling cold metal, of the ring that made me your wife I quietly whisper "see you in the next life"
