The ties that bind
Then you thought of giving up;
Breathing and living, you craved no more.
But when the angel arrived to lead you to everlasting peace,
You thought of me - how I would spend nights blaming myself
For not seeing all the signs,
How I would clutch your clothes in my arms,
Bringing it up to my nose to take a sniff.
You thought of how I would torture myself,
Asking 'What if?'
And then, right there, you told the angel, 'Please....'
You said, 'A soul would weep if I leave'.
