You aren’t here now,
And without you,
I’ve died too.
Every night, I think of you,
Of your smiling twinkling eyes,
And every day I remember you,
And remember the tears I have cried.
Remembering the fire,
My body starts to burn,
Terrible memories of your screaming face,
Trying to help you, I yearned.
Trapped beneath the burning building,
I choked on all the smoke,
I tried to look for you in the darkness,
So many bones were broke.
I called out to you,
My throat so sore,
I tried to listen for your shouts,
And I tried to shout much more.
And then I saw you,
Running towards me,
Your body caught alight.
Your face will stay in my mind forever,
Your screams piercing my ears,
I cried right there and then my love,
So many frozen tears.
For I knew I couldn’t help you,
All I could do was watch,
My one true love,
Dying, as I couldn’t stop,
Your pain.
Now I am alone without you,
Crying in the darkness of the night,
Remember dear that I will always love you,
And dream of when I used to hold you tight.
