Together Forever
Here she is
Those miles away
Missing him each and every day
Her hearts ripped open
She is a mess
A beauty in a worn down dress
Bruised and beaten
Make-up only covers so much
She smiles just to hide the tears
He knows of all her deepest fears
Freedom she finds within his mind
Lasts long enough to get of this rut
When his voice does fade away
Into the dirt, she finds her way
The sky turns different shades of gray
While all of the colors fade away
On the corner where she stands
He reaches out to take her hand
Startled she pulls away
They began again today
In a restaurant below
A couple stands kinds in tow
Number the waiter asks
Four they reply
Never batting an eye
Ten years older and wiser
Kids out of the house
Mans hair is dusted with gray
The lady still dyes hers away
Off to work they both head
And late at night when they go to bed
A kiss with feelings just like their first
Shared between the two
Another ten years quickly pass
The two retire at last
On a park bench they both sit
Younger couples passing by
The woman turns tear drops in her eye
The end was soon to come
A few months later
A hospital bed
Her head rested in his hands
“ I love you” she whispered in her last breath
“I love you too” he replied
A single tear fell from his eyes
Two years later he passed too
I guess even they both knew
When love is true,
Together forever really is too.
