The Better of Us

She's in there sleeping
As she does most days
God may I have I pray
One last talk with her

I would tell her
Of her beauty
And of our grand times
She would remember we are in love

God she must be with you
Only her body stays 
I wish it were me in that hell
For she is the better of us 

She is in there sleeping
Searching for the dawn

This makes my heart ache. I will pray for her, and you. This is a precious poem of your love and devotion to her, I'm sorry for this deep heartache and pain.
