last words
by korin schmitz

I'M SORRY he said
I'LL BET she replied
JUST LEAVE ME ALONE
'CAUSE I KNOW WHY YOU LIED!

YOU WERE WITH HER
WHILE I WAS ALONE
YOU HELD HER TIGHT
WHILE I SAT BY THE PHONE.

YOU'VE DONE THIS TOO OFTEN
AND THIS TIME'S THE LAST
FROM NOW ON I'LL BE
JUST A PART OF YOUR PAST.

With that she turned 
and walked away.
She walked out of his life
forever that day.

The tears were falling,
her heart was breaking.
Her head was spinning,
her hands were shaking.

She never heard or saw the truck.
Instantly she was dead
and the last words she said to him
still ring inside his head.

Now ten years later he sits alone
no children and no wife.
Turns out she wasn't just part of his past,
she was the one true love of his life.

Reason for writing:

    love
