When true love dies...

by Kaitlin Kristina   Dec 1, 2004


I hear the echoes in my head,
Draw my breath in,
He can’t be dead.

I loved him so much,
With all my heart,
I still couldn't save him,
Or give him a new start.

I saw the signs,
I let him fall,
It’s all my fault,
I watched him crawl.

He tried to drink his pain away,
Let blood fall,
Most every day,
Countless tears,
I dried off his cheek,
He could have used more,
I couldn't get him to speak.

Now I’m here, all alone,
His family and friends, calling my phone.
White walls are all I see,
The heart monitor rests,
His no longer beats.

I wish I could have said goodbye.
If I loved him more, would he have died?
Maybe he didn’t know how I felt,
His depression so thick, he couldn’t get out.

Stuck in a box of absolution,
Reaching out, for no conclusion,
No tangible reason will answer my cries,

Your heart never heals, when a true love dies.
