Untimely Arise
You've been gone for a decade, plus two
Remission you were already in when met
Recently learned the truth
Why did you decide to not inform me?
Did you think I would just walk away?
I would've never forsaken you
My love would never allow me to
I refuse to accept that the choice was just your's
You wanted to feel if "hope" wasn't available
You didn't want to go through it alone.
I understand.
I couldn't sleep on our bed
So it was the floor I chose
When I found out that very night
You were really gone
Forever?
Yes, people in my life have passed
Yet I've never dealt with a loss like this
For every child who laughs
I pray it's you that has received your wings.
My heart still cries from time to time
Enough to flood my soul
Why did you have to go?
I hope when you look down from above
You'd see me and please smile
Know in the very depths of my heart
No matter what...
You'll always be thought of and missed.
