Slowly encroaching
Upon your personal space,
Shadows enfold you
Obscuring your pretty face
From the light
That gives life
To the world.

The world
I once knew
That was built around you
begins to slip away;
Black and white
fades to gray.

The dreams
Of grandiose plans
For our lives we would have had
Now are all shattered;
the sad thing is
They no longer matter.

Endlessly wondering,
My heartbeat is racing
Silently waiting here
And frantically pacing
By your bedside
With tears in my eyes
For the world.

The world
I once knew
That was built around you
begins to slip away;
Black and white
fades to gray.

The dreams
Of grandiose plans
For our lives we would have had
Now are all shattered;
the sad thing is
They no longer matter.

I ask myself,
"Why didn't he stop to think
Before he ordered another round
And had one last drink?"

You were coming home
After working vary late
And expressed how much

The next thing I heard
On the phone
Was him hitting the car
After losing control.

Now, here I am
Holding your hand and seeing your face
While hearing the machines
Trying to make you stay
Here by my side;
Both living our blessed lives
In the World.

The hours pass by
Without even a wink of sleep.
My ears intently
Focused on every beep.
It starts to slow down
And I wear a frown
As I realize
That this is good-bye
To the world.

The world
I once knew
That was built around you
begins to slip away;
Black and white
fades to gray.

The dreams
Of grandiose plans
For our lives we would have had
Now are all shattered;
the sad thing is
They no longer matter.

The voices in my head
Tell me to foresake all
That I love
And methodically murder
That drunkard
In cold blood.

Just then,
There you are again;
Images clearly siered
In my brain.
your smile
That I miss so much
Reminds me of just why
I ever fell in love.

I hesitantly let go
Of your lifeless hand
And struggle with all
Of my might to stand.
I leave the room amidst the gloom
Heading down the hall.
I ask to enter
With an even temper
To see if he survived at all.

He stares up at me
With a silent plea
As I look down and smile.
"Just pray for your sake
That your heart shall not ache
As mine will for a while.
What you did was foolish enough
And it has cost me my dearest love;
However, I am glad that you live
So that I may forgive
You for what has been done.
My hope is
That you shall learn from this
And tell the events of this day
To the ones who still stray;
Saving many more lives
Than the one who has died
And left the world."
