Unfinished

The rain has dampened my firey soul
Nothing feels right in this place so cold
One last kiss was the only gift I could give
Someone with so much fight they can't live

To watch her in this bed an image I've never seen
To stand in these shoes a place I've never been
It aches my soul and rocks my heart
To know that this will tear us apart

Will we be strong enough to weather this storm
When did this clinging pain begin to form
This is the only way I can truly grieve without tears
To write down all my sadness and spill my fears

Things unfinished and never will see
People she'll never meet or see us come to be
Tears will fall and comfort cannot fill this place
The loss of a soul you can never replace
