He's Still Here

She stares with no expression
At the one from the courthouse
That stranger whom she hates
The one who took away her spouse

She had won but also lost
And nothing would be the same
To her chest she clutches tightly
To the man in the picture frame

She started loosing her faith
Time only deepened her sadness
Sometimes she'd cry out loud
In spite of her madness

But when she looks at them
Her children she raises alone
She feels there's a helping hand
From a presence unknown

Soon, not even the engraving
On the polished black stone
Could convince her that he was gone
And that she was all alone

She knows he's still here
He'd never leave her behind
She knows this because
He's not the leaving kind

No he's never been that way
He never turns from his heart
They both know not even death
Could ever keep them apart
