Ever since you left me, my world has been turned upside-down
and it feels like I'll never be the same again.
I gave you a hug, and a kiss goodbye,
but I didn't know that they would be the last.
You left that day, my love, but how was I to know
that you would be gone for good, this time.
Every tear I weep for you is in vain,
for I know that you will never come home to me.
I never even believed that you were dead
until I saw your body in the morgue.
It wasn't right, that you lay, so cold
upon that slab of frigid concrete
For you had always been so warm and gentle,
so full of life, and love for all creatures.
The doctor said that you felt no pain,
though for I, who loved you, it will never end.
I hope he pays the price, in blood, for his crime
He, who took from you your very life.
My existence is cold and empty, without you,
and I have lost count of the tears I have wept.
So I'll pick red roses for your grave,
and I promise to play Nightwish at your funeral
Just like you always wanted, right?
But I never expected it to be so soon.
I've wished upon stars to bring you home,
but it seems that they are all out of wishes now
For though you've gone to a better place,
bitter tears remain frozen upon my cheeks
As, every day, I look in the mirror and wonder
why it had to be you, instead of me.
