“My Lifeline…”

Although it’s been many years

I never thought I would say goodbye

I can’t believe I shed so many tears

The way you shifted my gears

And constantly made me cry

Makes me regret all the years

I drowned my sorrows in endless beers

To keep myself on a high

In order to avoid everlasting tears

The obsession I had for you appears 

From the second my hand had grazed your thigh

But I haven’t felt your touch in years

As we watched all of our fears

Coming true, with your neck wrapped in my tie

You stared at me cadaverously, both of us in tears

The last of your voice, my thought hears

You begged me as I watched you die

I can’t believe I have spent all these years

Wasting so many tears
