As sad as this tale may seem
Let’s hope it’s no more than a dream
There was a girl and her loving beau
For her his everlasting love did show
Life tried to keep them apart
But she fully gave him her heart
Love blossomed full and strong
Though the miles between them were long
Plans of marriage did they make
For each other their hearts did ache
Until one day he said no
I am going to let you go
Why oh why oh why she said
Without you I am better off dead
But he shook his head and did not reply
He tried himself to understand why
He knew not why he left her there
Not certain why he did not care
Knowing without him she could not exist
She took the knife and slit her wrist
And he walked along the lonely road
From his eyes a river of salt flowed
Why did he let it end this way
Without her his world was gray
And knowing that there was no one else
He turned the knife onto himself
