Like a soldier at war,
you never gave up.
Fighting life's battles,
not afraid of death's cup. 1
2
There I was, not knowing,
that you had met death.
While all along, you saw it coming,
awaiting it, with bated breath.
3
The bullet,
that punctured our short love with pain.
Speeding effortlessly,
into the back of your brain.
4
Was not meant for you,
rather the criminal.
Who's life is still there,
the damage, quite minimal.
5
And the silence that loomed,
when you had just passed.
Punishing myself,
for not making my time with you last.
6
I miss you dearly,
no lie will I tell.
I will not forget,
the day which you fell.
7
8
Into my waiting arms,
I was there all the way.
I carried you off the battlefield,
oh the price I did pay.
9
I should have know,
loving you would come to this.
But I fell for your
tender, loving kiss.
10
You had to go,
I realize now.
I should have seen it coming,
but I simply didn't know how.
11
The roses I place on your grave,
will remind me,
of the sorrow I felt
from your death, which was blinding.
12
Forgive me now Lord,
for I am not weak.
I have past your life's test,
now please let me sleep.
13
I cannot live with this grief
any longer!
Just send me to him,
I will become stronger.
14
I am not like he was,
no soldier am I!
I cannot live with this burden!
I more want to die!
15
I cannot fight life's battles,
I am not like him!
Just spare me this once,
Oh please give in!
16
17
Now is the the time,send me death's cup!
That is all I wish to do,
I want to give up!
18
I pray to you this,
just to be with my lover.
I am telling you now,
I have no more life to uncover!
19
So please let me go,
into the sky and beyond.
Past my no good life,
into Heaven's Golden Pond.
