It's been two weeks too long,
she's crying, hurting all alone
just waiting to hear him on the phone.
Three years without him
is far too long, especially now
when it's too bad to even wow.
"Baby, I need you hear,
Timmy's gone too
away with death he flew.
I lost my job
and they took my heart,
no more can we be apart.
Love, I need you,
where are you
and what can we do?"
She screamed and
oh my god she cried,
for fear he too died.
You see, I was off at war
a war we weren't meant to fight
though we tried with all our might.
The day passed away
night inevitably came
but she was no longer sane.
I thought the moon brought hope
I guess that is not always true,
cause she got even more dark blue.
Then she found a knife,
"Babe, I'm done waiting,
look at the time I'm wasting.
Here's goodby to my
prince that never showed!"
In it went and her breath slowed.
Just then the door opened
and I walked in, "Honey, I'm home!
And oh I've been so alone!"
Down the dark hall, I went,
into our room where I
saw more than should any guy.
The love of my life
on the floor covered in blood
the room drenched in mud.
On the bed was one
unfinished note
and have a root bear float.
"Dear Marshall,
Late last night, Timmy died,
and Jacob really lied.
Please come home soon
we really need you here
I'm living life in fear...
Are you okay?"
Is all that it said,
I whispered, "Me too, I'm dead..."
I sat down and held her tight,
sang her one last lullaby
and for both of us it was goodbye.
