Acid Tears
You are always on my mind, night and day;
I feel your presence deep within my heart.
I miss you; I don't know what else to say:
your passing has torn my whole world apart.
Relishing all the happy times we've shared;
I had hoped to enjoy a few more years.
And though I told myself I'd be prepared:
my confidence dissolved in acid tears.
Sadness has eclipsed the light of the sun;
I no longer feel life is worth living.
Knowing there was nothing I could have done:
no one's at fault; no one needs forgiving.
I cherished the romantic side of you;
holding hands on our walks, we never tired.
We shared a life fate has granted to few,
and yet over the years, our time expired.
Alzheimer's stole your memories away,
until, piece by piece, your mind fell apart.
And inevitably, Death had His way,
leaving a gaping hole inside my heart.
