Tribute Tragedy

 

I said not so long ago

It seemed life was never a fair game

She never did want to play

I was always different

I just gambled my life away

Her own woman she never was

She lived by the rules

But always lost

Time and again

All she got in return was

A cocktail of pain

The past always repeats itself

If you do not care for caution

Not as severe as it was to her dead relation

 She never did realize it all

The life that she had missed

I was never there to help her through it all

To lost in my own world of hurt and bliss

A simultaneous combustion

Of true love and bad judgment

And as the sign on my door read

Keep out!

I never heard her shout

I wasn’t able to save her

Or give her that she wished

All I could do was send her a smile and a kiss

And share with her stories of the life that she missed
