Like Death Passed Through
Our life together is no more,
It’s like you died
An invisible death,
That only you and I know,
Your death began
When I first noticed
That you weren’t acting like yourself,
Then I found out
You were with someone else,
It was like a little part of me
Had died along with you.
It’s like you had died
And left me forever,
You had left me to weep
And cry,
And pity myself
Over my loss of you,
Alone forever.
And as I laid your coffin down
In my mind,
The sky opened up
And cried their cold tears with me,
Weeping for all that was lost.
