The Love of Her Life

by Kimberly Marie - Pisces

She knows she can't get better than him so she stays.
She tests herself for faults she can't find.
He fills her up with thoughts she doesn't understand.
He loves the things about her she hates.
He stands by her and guides her along the way.
She thinks things should be perfect but knows it's impossible.
She strives for stability in life but fails.
He helps to make it easier on her and does all he can.
But still she wants more.
She knows she can't get better than him so she stays.
They fight and cry they laugh but inside they die.
They die from pain in their hearts.
The love tries to fight to beat the anger.
But still he stands by her and guides her along the way.
He holds her.
Even when she pushes him away with the anger.
He warms her heart with the love.
She knows she can't get better than him so she stays.
She stays for the comfort the peace he tries to make.
She stays for the love she sees in his eyes.
Times get hard but it gets better.
She knows she can strive for the stability and fail.
But now she sees the truth.
That all along her stability, her happiness, her love, her everything
Was in him.
And now as she sees the one thing in life that saves her from it all disappear.
He leaves her alone not by chose.
As he lays with her for his last moments, his last breathe
He says to her.
"You had the world in your hands and me in your heart
But couldn't see it. 
You were in my arms for a short time but in my heart for a lifetime
And I’ll never leave your side even though you don't see me
I’ll be there."
And as he said those words
She knows she can't get any better then him.
And so she stays now because she wants to.
She knows he is her everything 
And as she watches her everything disappear
They say I love you for the first time and the last. 
This turning point in her life was hard but she went on.
She went on not striving for the stability or anything else
Because she found it all.
Even though he was gone she remembered him say.
"I’ll be there " and she knew he was by her side forever.
She knows life can be hard but it can't get any better then this.
So she stays and standing by her side an angel to guide her along the way.
