he looks into my eyes
as his hand softly explores my face
he'll whispers repeated confessions of his heart's yearning
for me he rests, for me he wakes
I smile, though it's sad

he stares into my face
our hands joined, I feel his nervous tremble
together our lives are joned
with my mother's quite, happy sobs
we say those sacred words
I kiss him, though it's sad

beneath me he lays
his eyes attentive to my every move
he holds my body above him
hot skin, smooth to my fingertips
his nevers now gone
I close my eyes and rest my head
I sigh happily, though it's sad

his face filled with joyful fear,
he grasps my hand as I do the same
the pain so great, the cost so much
to buy a life
the pain fades, my grip loosens
her cries fill the air
I hold them both, though it's sad

we watched her grow
first words, first steps
first kisses
the day we dreaded has come
my sobs, like my mothers were, so many years ago
he wipes the tears from my cheek
I listen to her say the words I did
hoping her regret be not like mine
I grip his hand, though it's sad

time passes so quickly now
she now knows what she is to me
what she is to us both
each night we rest, side by side
each morning we wake the same
I still say those words, though it's sad

he stands above my bed now
his hands hold fast to mine
he would put it on himself if he was able
we all must go sometime, somehow
I assure him we'll meet again someday
I lied, it's sad

I'll be with you for eternity now
he lived for me, and i lived not for him
I remained your my whole life through
he had my hand
you had my heart, as you will forever
as the stars shine only for the sky
my heart loves only for you
I lived my life a lie to him
because I couldnt have the only one I could ever feel for
that is why
It's sad

.

My vision fades to darkness
my body limp, he sobs
soulmates, we'll be together now
I never loved him, it's sad
