The Selfless

The Selfless

God smiled when he made you.
But unfortunately it was something you never knew.
Maybe an even deeper secret was that I smiled too.

When you let others cause you pain
Because you lived for them to gain.
I knew you were magic
Even though the people you loved were so tragic.

They never could see everything you were to me.
Instead they ripped you apart saying they wanted more than you could be.
Stabbing at your heart that you gave so free and left you to bleed.
Making you feel like you were less than anyone needs.
And over time, so help me God… They got you to believe.

…I saw you hit the ground.
Dropping pound by pound.
And forever I will forget the sound.
I swear my soul left my lungs. I couldn't breathe, I stood there astound.
But after I got closer, I put my hand on your shoulder and turned you over,
and in your eyes I realized... you couldn’t be found.

Christ! I tried so hard to stop them, but it was too late.
The damage they did was far too great.
I tried so hard to show your gorgeous reflection in my tearing eyes… but I couldn’t stop fate.

…I cried when I went to pray
Over your body that lay.
I screamed This isn’t right! It shouldn’t be this way!
This girl was too selfless for this world to take away!
… But the sun had already set on a once in a lifetime perfect day…

Since then I gave my life to a never ending fight
To show you the light
That for some reason can only be seen by my sight.

I’ll stay by your body forever
Because I’m the only one here that can remember
… and I know that in my mind… you will die NEVER!
