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.
