Suffer
at times I find it hard to breathe
as thoughts of you drift by
i reach out to these wisps of dreams
and bow my head to cry
for these are all i’ve left to hold
of these and nothing more
but love i need to give to you
this girl whom i adore
and in this life where once you lived
there now exists this pain
tormenting to my very core
to ne’er see you again
i’m suffering while in this world
a world without my wife
i’ll fall down on my knees and pray
that day i lose my life
for then we’ll be forever locked
into our lost embrace
from trembling lips i speak the words
i love you to your face
