He said "I'll see you tomorrow."
She never made it.
He told the police.
They were too late.
She was there.
Lying on the cold grey concrete.
Her face was solemn.
Like she was asleep.
He wept and wept.
No one said a word.
He kneeled over her.
Confused about the world.
He took the ring from her clammy finger.
And held it like it was her soul.
He kissed her lips.
As one last attempt to proclaim their love.
He left when they took her.
He went to a bar.
To drink the night away.
He drank.
He drove.
And another mans sweet heart's blood ran cold.
The funeral was held that next week.
Everyone was there.
Except him.
He was in a cell.
Tears stained his face.
A man came up and said
"I can end it right now for you."
He graciously accepted.
The next week he was besides her.
Six feet under.
He looks up at her.
She looks down at him.
She potties him.
So does the woman besides her.
Who he killed.
