The first sip was sweet, and tasted like Spring
I was invincible, with you at my wing.
Effortlessly, your company would light up my world,
Under the elm tree together, we’d dance and we'd twirl.
I felt so protected, in the warmth of your embrace,
For an eternity, I would press my lips to your face.
Constantly under the influence of your love,
With you, I felt more peaceful than the dove.
Right when I thought the enchantment couldn’t end,
You did took your life, a wound no one could mend.
I awoke the next morning, a throbbing in my head,
And all I could think of, was you laying there, dead.
Oh how abruptly, you had ended our love,
Now crippled, on the ground, lie our little dove.
No longer I danced, too and fro,
Without my partner, I had no where to go.
Nearing the end, along came fall,
And not returned, was a single call.
I left voicemails, every morning and night,
Just to hear your name, was a temporary delight.
The leaves had changed color, and now hit the ground,
And I realized your heart, was not going to sound.
The snow began falling, along with it Winter.
I couldn’t get you out of my head, you mental splinter.
I was no longer drunk, and the hang over was over
All energy was gone, I was drier than stover.
I was done waiting for you, all patience was gone,
Life had been ended, the final card drawn.
Then I realized, while I awaited you, you were waiting for me
From far above, atop the elm tree
Coming to you, I was on my way,
Waiting here was where I had gone astray.
So I reached into my drawer, and pulled out the gun,
Our lover was not over, it had just begun.
