You told me you loved me.
You told me you cared.
But where were you when i needed you there.
I was alone on the dark wet road.
Where were you then.

After you left me for that girl.
That white pick-up truck pulled up and dragged me in.
As you began to kiss her.
They began to beat me.
Where were you then.

I screamed for you.
When you didnt respond i knew i was doomed.
I thought about you and what it was like for us.
So i wouldn't feel the pain.
They tourtured me for hours.
In that single black tower.
Where were you then.

You called and texted me.
It was our night to be.
It was three when you recieved that call.
"Nathan she's gone they've murdered her"
Oh how that rubbed you raw.
Where were you then Nathan.

Now im in a better place.
Where my clothes are covered in lace.
I am watching over you my love.
Even though you weren't there.
I need you to know that i still care.

Very dramatic, but I loved the ending, the forgiveness ... the interdimensional touch!

Well written!

Love,
