Written

We've known each other

Maybe our whole life

All he wanted

Was to make me his wife

But let's back up

Let's tell the whole thing

Long before

He bought me that ring

There was someone else

Who got in between

He didn't play fair

He didn't play clean

He caused so much war

Suffering and Pain

What did he have

Have to gain

Through all the times

Good and bad

We always came back

To what we had

We never let him

Keep us apart

For true love we had

We had in our heart

But then the time came

For him to kneel

Could this be happening

Could this be real

He set him up

To be out of this place

He took those pictures

You could not replace

I woke up

I knew it was done

I looked out

I saw the sun

He tried and he tried

To keep me so close

But I withdrew

Nobody knows

I felt I should tell him

As time went by

I drove that long drive

I would soon see him die

As I walked in

That room of sorrow

He had those pictures

Laying right there

In a pool of his blood

This was no fair

He was misled

To believe what he saw

I was given

That poison to drink

To let him see

To make him think

My clothes were ripped off

My body in place

The things he now knew

He could never erase

He didn't even give me

A chance to explain

Instead he stopped feeling

All of his pain

I picked up that letter

There on that floor

He told me he loved me

But said no more

Attached to that letter

Was that ring

And all the joy

It could never now bring

I walk in the clouds, I sing in the dust

There is a good rhythm in this melancholic write.

Love,

Again, great write! It brought a heaviness on my heart, deeply sad content. I wish more people would read and comment on your work, it is really wonderful.
