I Wish Alone

You were there in the beginning,
You heard my every cry.
You called me every day or night,
A promise till you die.

Although I thought we'd never part,
My dreams all came unclear.
The day I got a call,
Not from you but someone near.

They told me of a slaughter,
A shooting you were caught.
Innocent they claimed you were,
My mind had not a thought.

I tried to breath but couldn't,
My friend, my only one.
You were there and gone so fast,
It doesn't seem you're gone.

We buried you and wept so long,
A prayer I send with you.
Not only just my friend,
My life and companion to.

You were more than the love of a mother,
You were less than a pain to me.
You were my first and last,
You're everything I need.

Now alone I sit in here,
Looking at pictures of us.
I wish alone I tell myself,
Weeping yet also tear less.

How and why you left me,
Still haunts me to this day.
Holding on to what we had,
Theres no more I can say.
