Twenty years of misery
Twenty years of pain
Twenty years of a friendship
She’ll never have again

Within the hands of hell
And upon his mistress’ breast
He left his wife in mourning
Sleepless and without rest.

Her heart was torn in two
When she buried him that day
Though her love was dying
He had been stolen away

In the arms of a lover
She finds sweet release
Only to awaken to guilt
And the absence of peace

How could she love another
So soon after his death
How could she allow him
To take away her breath

Still, her heart finds a beat all its own
Whenever he and she are alone
Together they live as one person should
Love was the plan, that’s how she could
