Rhyme Time Iii: Death and Love
The casket is lowered slowly into the earth
Destined to this moment even before birth
Never understanding life for what it's worth
Only to have a chance to still be alive
Only to have a chance thy will to survive
Letting life continue its catastrophic dive
Now right here on death's door I arrive
Why couldn't I choose to remain with you here
Instead of being a corpse still full of fear
Only if I could kiss you once again my dear
If only I would've seen everything more clear
Now forever dropped into the underground
Buried under life now eternally bound
Consciously unable, a voice without sound
Everything I lost in all the nothing I've found
Unfinished life quest of love and happiness
As I watch you my love now cry in distress
A better man I should've been this I confess
I love you my dear, Godspeed, and God Bless
Heart no longer beats but still breaks as you cry
Why God did you not let us say goodbye
Receiving no answers and getting no reply
On final descent my tears fall from the sky
The casket is lowered slowly into the earth
