I Played a Song That Was Ours

He held her close and swore love forever. He said no one could come between us, never. He would always bring her roses and eventually a ring to ware. So much love they would cling to share. She’d make a house for him alone. It was the strongest love she’d ever known. He’d work long hours and when he came home today he told her “I played a song that was ours.” Then the police came and took him away. Drinking and driving doesn’t pay. Goodbye was all they could say. He was an alcoholic and Katie was seven. Now he’s in prison and she’s in heaven. She played the song. Their song. Then she signed the divorce papers of a love wrong. Then she hugged the parents of a little girl forever gone.
