My Worse Lie
I saw it coming
Yet I was too far away
As my voice fell on deaf ears
I heard the tires squeal
As metal bent and bones were crushed
I ran towards my true love
My tears ran down my face
Like the blood down his
He told me to save him
But I wasn't enough
Years of training for what?
As I held my love in my arms
Blue eyes began to dull
His life leaving is all I saw
Everything will be ok
I said with a soft lie
Believing only that it wasn't possible that he would die
Minutes seemed to take hours
Till I heard the sirens till the lights finally found us.
Do you hear that my love
There coming I said holding him in iron arms
His breathing slowed as his voice pierced my soul
I love you, But I have to go
The last words his body would let him control
No you don't I said in a voice that wasn't my own
I can save you... I can do this.... I can't lose you
Just hold on I promise I'll make this ok
I love you baby so you must see another day
A smile crossed his face
As the sun shined
His soul finally escaped his body's case
Tears fell from my eyes
As if it was my last time to cry
My bittersweet lie that I could save you
Circled in my head
And I realized that I wasn't enough
That I couldn't save him
That I had to hold my love as he died
And the last words I said to him were my worse lie
