and dropped......................
Total happiness, my whole life could've been summed up in those words
Something beautiful, symbolic, like the first flight of a newborn bird
Because she came into my life, my average existence was transformed
Like a troubled youth confined to a life of crime suddenly reformed
Because with her I had meaning a reason to not give in, to go on living
Only for her to leave my life, a cruel act of god, there is no forgiving
We were the Romeo and Juliet, two halves combined to make the whole
Life is unfair, one moment passed and I am left alone in a great black hole
I could have done something, if only I had been quicker to her side
If only I could have been brave and helped her, she wouldn’t have died
Frozen in the moment, my greatest fear unravelling before my eyes
My throat burned as I yelled to her but it was like they were muted cries
The car skidded but to no avail, I couldn’t even turn away from the collision
Wishing to be blind entered my mind but nothing would escape my vision
The pain was instant, her eyes closed before she even hit the ground
I rushed to her side too late, I wanted to cry but I made no sound
My love lost, my life over, my heart stripped of all feeling I had inside
An empty shell, now I have no happiness, I am starved and deprived
Every day it cuts deep, like a knife in the chest that will never come loose
Beaten by the pain, my mind projects it I’m a slave to emotional abuse
It’s all I see, it’s all I hear, it’s like I am punished for my failure to save her
Ripped apart every moment trying to hold on to the love that I gave her
But slowly it slips away, I have no emotion, I have no reason for being
I close my eyes at night, but never sleep, her face is all that I’m seeing
I am cut off, deserted on this earth I have been left totally marooned
Forced to live all of my life suffering from an un-closable open wound.
