I toss and turn on our bed.
From, the nightmares that dwell in my head.
The chaos and madness of my dreams.
Are on you, the one that I loved.
The one, that I tried to save.
The one, that died that night.
I sit here, sweating, and trembling.
From, the site so ..so dreadful.
I still remember holding you.
As, you were pale and blue.
The color of your eyes faded.
Into, the color of my dark lonely soul.
I, the husband, who should have protected you.
Sits,here with his wife as she takes her last breath.
Of her life, the tears go down like a stream.
Hits, the one that is below.
I picked you up.
I kissed you.
Then, I had to say good bye.
The tears still there on my face.
As I watched you go.
Into, your final resting place.
The stones, on the grave said.
"Here lays a wife, a friend".
The pain that I feel.
Is all from the past.
But, can you tell me.
How, to move on?
If, not I will wait.
until my death, to be with her.
For just one more time
