I Had to Lose Her....

If love could save her,
He was the cure.
He never left her side,
He never spoke a word.
He sat there waiting,
Always holding her hand.
It seemed like his love alone
Delayed her end.
There were cards and flowers
From those who cared,
And sympathetic smiles
From those who thought they could share.
But the pain of her passing
Was a hell all his own.
So he mourned in the dark,
He mourned all alone.
He cursed God, he cursed cancer,
He even cursed his own name.
He cursed his tears that flowed through
He cursed whatever's to blame.
He cursed the empty house
He cursed his empty heart.
He cursed the unpassable barrier
That kept them apart.
It took him months to rebuild,
To create a new life.
A much darker existance
That had stolen his wife.
But eventually he smiled
Even though it was plain,
That the hurt in his eyes
Showed he'd never love again.
If you ask that man now
Would he do it again,
He would live through it all
Just to hold her hand.
These are the words of a man
Broken and emptied.
I write these words
That man is me.
This is my story
And she was my wife,
I had to lose her
To know she was my life.
He was the cure.
He never left her side,
He never spoke a word.
He sat there waiting,
Always holding her hand.
It seemed like his love alone
Delayed her end.
There were cards and flowers
From those who cared,
And sympathetic smiles
From those who thought they could share.
But the pain of her passing
Was a hell all his own.
So he mourned in the dark,
He mourned all alone.
He cursed God, he cursed cancer,
He even cursed his own name.
He cursed his tears that flowed through
He cursed whatever's to blame.
He cursed the empty house
He cursed his empty heart.
He cursed the unpassable barrier
That kept them apart.
It took him months to rebuild,
To create a new life.
A much darker existance

And she was my wife,
I had to lose her
To know she was my life.
I shouldn't have to fight a battle I'll never win, just to lose those I've never had.

Very moving.
Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me
And I won't make the same mistakes
(Because I know)
Because I know how much time that wastes
(And function)
Function is the key
No one needs a smile more than someone who fails to give one,
After you die...you know how to LIVE!
its beautiful and sad
dreamer in my dream
we got the guns
i love you,but im..............callin out.........callin out
