The Death Threat of Love

Tears falling like raindrops,
In a storm of doom.
My heart breaks as I look into your eyes,
I hear what your saying,
But not quite believing it,
As you tell me you love another.
Even though I see a glimmer,
Of hope but with no words I walk away.
The days go by I'm learning to be alone,
To be without you.
So playing softball is my release,
Across the field I see her,
She waves and I don't.
I pitch striking her out,
She looks at me with tears in her eyes.
I am confused not quite understanding.
I find out after the game,
From one of her friends,
She was undercover and,
The threat was against me.
A death threat!!
They convicted her 3 days ago ,
I bow my head crying,
Thinking what she did for me.
I look and see her running across the field,
Right into my arms.
I kiss her and,
She says I'm so sorry baby,
I couldn't chance it.
Your the love of my life,
I smile saying, yes.
I tell her but you will always,
Be the keeper of my heart.
