|
It happened all so fast... |
|
Heavy with sleep, my eyes closed... |
|
The next thing I remember was crawling out from the car and |
|
seeing you lying there... |
|
Holding your head, kissing you for the last time, |
|
The taste of blood on my lips. |
|
Your clothes torn apart, perfumed with gas; |
|
It seems like it was yesterday when the rain poured down... |
|
I can still hear your screams as if it was happening all over again. |
|
Saturday, December 4th: that night would become a grave |
|
that would crush my heart... |
|
Joy and laughter exchanged for grief and silence. |
|
Searching for so long to find you, |
|
And the moment I did, you were ripped from me. |
|
Laying here on this empty shelf, never to be read again; |
|
In these pages lies every memory of you. |
|
The wind blew your heart over my eyes and I slept for days |
|
praying not to awake, but these dreams can only last so long... |
|
Facing the day, looking through these tears. |
|
I'll always look back and remember that night; |
|
Once you lay there still... |
|
Looking over that casket, seeing your face; |
|
Times of past rushing back... |
|
Touching your cold hand, wishing it would touch me back |
|
You look so pretty lying there, just like the first day we met |
|
It feels so real, like old times; but it's nothing, it's nothing... |
|
I can taste the stale air on my tongue, and death lights up the sky. |
|
Hope finds itself at an end, stopping at my thoughts; |
|
Pictures of you help bring back the tears |
|
Walking in the present, but living in the past; |
|
How much longer will I embrace sorrow? |
|
From the moment you entered my life, |
|
my whole outlook on love would change... |
|
You brought out a happiness I didn't even know I had; |
|
And now you're gone, leaving without a goodbye... |
|
That glass heart that rested in my chest has fallen and shattered on her grave. |
|
Here, Lord, is the remains of a broken heart; |
|
For I have faith you can give me joy and life again. |
|
Death has fallen, but love covers me; |
|
Heaven is now home to my angel of love. |
