The Video

by cLumsy   Dec 22, 2005


There seemed to be a silence
As I slowly walked my steps
I remembered how I trembled
And remembered how I wept

You looked handsome in that tux
The one that my mom chose
Your face was smiling brightly
As everyone gave us a toast

I started to relax a bit
And chat with my old friends
Then it was time to set
Our vows and ties and ends

You stood up grave and silent
While everyone seemed to laugh
Then suddenly a dark man stood
A gun in his hand gave a crack

Blood spewed out of your chest
Everyone screamed in fright
The man stood there laughing
It was a cold dark night

The video blanked out
And tears started to shed
That was ten years ago
When we had started to wed

I couldn't believe that man
He was my ex-fiance
He shot my future husband
It was his moral he had to betray

The remote fell limp in my hands
Everything still felt so real
Your bloody image played over in my mind
I didn't know what to feel

I took out the video
Which held our last memory
I would cherish it forever
Repeating every single scene

And then I cry out loudly
Because the video left something out
Something that never could be captured
Something I knew without a doubt

I still remember what you said
Before your last gasping breath
You said you had loved me deeply
In life and now in death

This is not a true story. I had to edit this because people think it is. Thank you all for your beautiful comments.
