I'll Never Leave You

This dark day I sat next to her,
She was reading an unfortunate letter,
She said, “You left me”,
I said, “I am here with thee”.

She closed her eyes and gave the world an angel’s smile,
I promised thee, “With you I shall walk down the aisle”,
You left the house to go about your business,
Your brilliance expelled every corner of its darkness.

I walked beside you,
You never knew,
You couldn’t feel me,
How much I loved thee.

‘Twas late in the night,
You sat in the candle’s light,
Sipping in agony a bit of wine,
Looking at that empty goblet of mine.

You lay upon your bed,
The pain in your eyes I had read,
I waited till you were asleep,
In this love we fell so deep.

I walked through the door,
I’ll never leave, to you I swore,
I wished I could tuck you in,
As I lay to sleep in my coffin.
