On tuesday I got the call,
That damn phone call
Iâd been bracing for all week.
No, donât say it.
I watched her crawl in bed with you,
I watched her wet your lips
And couldnât do a God damned thing,
I watched you shake, I watched our hearts break,
I couldnât wrap my fingers around your spine
And shake it loose from the bone,
I couldnât fight against the loss,
I never set fire to your bed,
I never burnt the bed sores,
I never ate the flame, or drank the sweat,
But if it burns me up
I wonât char half as much as Iâll keep warm.
Life goes on because it has to, these things,
They never leave, they stay with you,
The smell of the viewing,
Your friends singing your praises,
The flower boot that never bloomed until we lost you,
The first Christmas we suffered through,
Room 211, kissing your head,
The last look into your eyes,
Not having the words to say thank you,
Say good bye.
