She said she loved me then she died
And I cried because I knew this to be a lie,
But in her final breathes,
I could not take away the rest
Of the final things she had left
But I knew she had another,
A very secret lover
But I was the only one here at her death
And so I held in my arms
And said I would ‘help until the time that you depart’
And then she died in my arms
But her love lives on my heart
For although her love was false,
I decided there was no point in recourse,
So I held in my arms
And I held in my heart
And that will never change,
Though it tore me apart,
She said she loved me then she died
And I cried because I knew this to be a lie,
So on that day a part of me died as well.
