Together Forever

My baby died two years ago today Died in a car accident at 4th and Bay Cried for so long, cried for years Thought I’d drown in my own tears I’ve moved on with my life Strayed away from the knife But I see her walking in the night Bathed in a fierce shimmering light She’s dead, I’m going insane Just speaking of this makes me inane But what if she’s returned? For this day I’ve yearned I follow her in the darkness and cold I’ll follow her until I become old No, I can’t, she died in the wreck I must keep my mind in check Baby, why do you do this to me Why can’t you just let me be I can’t take the hurt of seeing you there All of this pain I cannot bear I speak to her, she doesn’t respond How I want to join her in the great beyond Baby, don’t worry, we’ll be together We’ll walk the night, together forever I’ve decided to join my baby in her walks Now we can have those long talks Pierced a knife in my forearm deep Maybe now me and my baby can sleep

Dark and powerful. Well written and ripe with emotion.
