My heart swell's with blood,
From a vengful rage,
From all those lie's you lied,
Yesterday,
You swore you'd never leave,
But today your gone,
Inside I know i'ts my fault,
That your no longer here,
Im lost inside,
Forever I shall be,
Swollen with misery,
I try to hide so no one can see,
Yet the pain is way to evident,
The hurt cut's to deep,
I turned away for but a moment,
And now all I have is a photograph to see,
Its been ten years now but I will never forget,
Your beauty your face the scent of your hair,
I wonder if I could have saved you,
Only if I had been there,
Would things have been different,
Would you still be here,
Would I be here alone typing in this chair,
I love you so much why did you have to go,
Until we see each other again I guess I shall never know,
Longing to feel you touch,
Longing for you to be near,
But this withered photograph,
Reamain's like a wisp of smoke,
Clinging to the air,
Why did you have to die,
There was no need for suicide,
I will never bring you back,
And I will never let you fade,
You remain swollen in my heart forever,
And that will,
Never change....

Oh man, have we not all know this wish:
"Its been ten years now but I will never forget,
Your beauty your face the scent of your hair,
I wonder if I could have saved you"... somewhere deep in our "I wish"?
OOps, careful "Reamain's l"
