Jordan

As ashes fall watch the shadows they cast,
Tears roll down my cheeks as I look ahead,
Everything you told me is in the past,
Every memory that lived is now dead.

The stories they told turned out to be true,
Every one in which you claimed was a lie,
But I hope you know I lied to you too,
That time I said I wanted you to die.

I never dreamed that one wish would come true,
I stand here praying for your forgiveness,
Step up and announce how much I miss you,
Not one of them should know that I wished this.

A cross by the road that still bears your name,
Without you life can never be the same.
