My Dying Love

In sad memory of the dead 
With nothing more that could be said 
At the edge of town as the sun went down 
I put a bullet in my head 

How could I've known what lied in store
My life shattered forever more 
Out near Puget Sound where my true love drowned
Her body washed up on the shore

She was an angel sent to Earth 
Filled with joy and infectious mirth
A miracle found and parental bound
Four months away from giving birth 

With nothing left of me to save
My soul ever her dying slave
In the cold dark ground where no love's around 
Lies my heart in a shallow grave

Hi Darlene, since the character in the poem is fictional, I doubt I'll be keeping her in my memory. Thanks for the feedback.
