When the time came for him
To leave his wife and kin
And follow ancestors to a higher plain
That's when it began
Her pain

Clutching at old clothes stained with his scent
Her tears fall like dew from a petal
Clutching the last of him close to her chest
Wishing how time was better spent

The argues and fights just came along
And now regrets stand tall over her
Judgemental to the last they stab at her heart
If only once more could be today

Alone is now the only thing that's in the room
Where once loved made stayed until the sun would rise
Locked in passion kept forever
How it slips through her mind now

And so she becomes the prisoner
Of life that once was good
And the evening shadows creep in
Snuffing out another day
