He was gone He had kissed his cold lover Death And had left me alone No, not quite He left me with grief He left me with sorrow He left my bed cold & He left my heart empty He embraced Death Yes, he welcomed her He welcomed her more than he once welcomed my love She put an end to his misery when I could not All I could do was watch him suffer Watch him sweat Watch him cry Watch him die Watch as the life faded from his eyes Listen, cause with his last breath he told me goobye He left with a piece of my heart He left & I fell apart He left and now I'm incomplete He left because he needed Death more than he loved me.

"he left b/c he needed death more than he loved me" Not true my dear. seems as if he wasn't able to hold on to life. love never dies...and loves never leaves |

(big hugggssssss) Oh Jacqueline, this is so heartbreaking, sweet friend, I hope this is fictional but know if this is true that he will always love you so much and nothing can ever change that and that true love will always find a way to your heart! (sad sigh) My thoughts are with you, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Jacqueline, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you!
