The warmth of the sun can't touch my snow covered heart
and the breeze can't cool the wrath of the anger you caused.
I knew that someday you would leave me, my soul torn apart
yet I let you hold me tight. Kissed you and never paused.
You told me you cared and would never leave me alone.
So why am I standing here now without you by my side?
I cry every time I open the door to a dark home
because I know you're not there with arms stretched out wide.
I miss your gentle loving kiss. I can still smell your skin.
Everyone tells me this is no way for me to behave
but I can't let you go yet, I can still feel you within.
Till death do us part, but I can't leave your grave.

Yup, I think that works better. Kind of reminds me of a Dido song, "his boots no longer by my door. He left at dawn. And as he left I watched him go..." Don't know if you know it, but I can't remember the title of it.

Wow. Moving. Bittersweet. Beautiful.
Really this is your best. Very flowing and full of soul. I have just one suggestion and that is for the last line, which seems longer than it should be.
I would change it to,
"Till death do us part," but I can't leave you grave.
Really, this IS a good one.
