It was very
quiet in the room.
And very gloomy too.
I thought it should be peaceful.
But I felt pain and it was sorrowful.
I was sitting at the edge of the bed.
With my heavy head hanging low.
For a very long and quiet hour.
We shared our woes.
You knelt before me.
And held my hands in yours.
I looked into your eyes.
I saw teardrops.
You said everything would be fine
But I could still hear you cry
It wasnt just as easy as I thought
How naïve of you and I
Now, everything looks like its over
I should have known it would not
With that guilt I would bear all my shame
Life would never be the same
Without you
Life would not be as sweet
With that bitter memory
I will forever weep.
