I stepped into the church

frail and weak

some hope, some truth

I did seek

at me They stared

at me They glared

They might have bothered me

had I cared

to the front of the church

I stumbled my way

thinking of your arms around me

where I wanted to stay

now laid before me

what do I see ?

a plain, pine box

engulfing thee

flowers surrounded you

of every kind

but only deception

did I find

I leaned close to your body

and grasped your icy hand

unknowing of how much

more pain I could stand

I softly kissed your lips

and began to cry

my heart broke in two

I wanted to die

with your eyes closed

you looked so calm

the priest looked at me

and stopped singing his psalm

a tear fell from my eye

down onto yours

it shuddered and down

your pale face it pours

I ran my fingers

through your hair

I felt so much agony

so much despair

I leaned close to you

and whispered in your ear

"We'll always be together,

I love you, my dear."

a hand touched my shoulder

as light as a dove

and pulled me away

from my one, true love

alone, they sat me

down in a pew

tears fell so freely

thinking of you

of your love, your warmth

your thoughts, your kiss

all of the things

that I did miss

hoping to block it all out

I curled into a ball

I felt lonely, insecure

meek and small

the pastor preached

as we bowed our heads to pray

and he tried to convince us

that with God now you stay

I looked up from my world

and tuned into theirs

I saw right through their lies

Their God and their prayers

the casket was closed

and strangers gathered near

They carried you off

with no emotions, no fear

I followed the hearse

to where They saw it best

for you to be buried

for you to rest

upon your tomb

I placed a black rose

They looked at me disgustedly

but my broken heart knows

that it doesn't matter what They say

or what They think or do

because you are forever bound unto me

as I am bound unto you

as you were lowered into your grave

I turned and ran away

I couldn't stand any more pain

I've had too much for one day

a week had passed

and the pain only grew

there was only one solution:

I had to see you

I knelt before your tombstone

and leaned in near

kissed it and again whispered

"I love you, my dear."

over your grave

now I stand

crying, yet smiling

with gun in hand

I closed my eyes

and drew a deep breath

we were bound in life

and so we shall be in Death

I aimed the gun barrel

in front of my face

and as I pulled the trigger

thought of your warm embrace

my last, relieved sigh

was the last sound

soon again we'd be together

for we are forever bound
