'til Death Do Us Part

Yesterday is a part of me
That only time can now erase
Tomorrow holds the future
An uncertain and empty place

A smile is easily wiped away
I am proof of this event
I begged the angels to show you mercy
But they simply wouldn't relent

Taken away before your time
Leaving me, with the broken pieces
A heart that aches both day and night
And a loneliness that never ceases

A promise fufilled, "'Til death do us part"
Words, that I took for granted
I said I will but it came too soon
For my heart was still enchanted

A piece of me too, died that day
We never got to say goodbye
'Til death do us part still means Us
I'll love you till the day I die
