She couldn't live without him

by Jenn E   Dec 28, 2004


A tear comes to your eye when you realize you don't care anymore
Then you laugh insanely, when it occurs to you that you never did
16 years of going through the motions
laughing because your supposed to laugh
crying because you're supposed to cry
then he came along

and when you touched you became one
when he was there you were happy
with him you were complete
and then you knew
you couldn't live without him

So, the years went bye
ashes returned to ashes
and dust to dust
still you remained forever in his embrace
much older and not one day aged
for your life stopped the day you met him
froze in that one moment of sheer bliss

When the day came
and you knew he would no longer be able to hold you
you took one final breath, and choked out a sob
knowing full well that it would be your last
you knew you couldn't live without him

at your funeral they all cried and remembered when they had you
you gave these words to me, so that everyone would hear

to those who feared what she would become
doubted that she ever would make it
pushed her down if it meant keeping you up
you lost
