A CALL FROM BEYOND
Hey babe, I miss you,
The first text i awake to each morning,
Lately, a stream of messages from "WIFEY",
Were all that kept me going,,,
The calls,
The voice of someone I can no longer hold,
Someone I could no longer touch,
Someone I could no longer kiss,
Someone, I could only miss,,,

I have been alone for as long as I remember,
Since you were taken,
By the cold hands of fate,
And d grim hands of death,,,

Memories of how we danced in the rain,
Brings me nothing but pain,
Memories of the beach,
How we would run in the sand,
How we would hold hand,
All brings me nothing but sadness,,,

With each loving memory of you,
Now dragging me to the other side,
I see shadows of you haunting the house,
I chase to see if it's really you,
Only to find nothing,
I stare at the mirror only to find your reflection staring back at me,
Late at night I hear your voice as it beckons me to the other side,
Singing to me its sweet Sirene song,,,

The shadows of tree branches that cast in our bedroom,
Feels like a million hands reaching for my soul,
Bringing to me my very own doom,,,

As I decide to join her in the afterlife,
And I decide to take my own life,
With poison in one hand,
A knife in the other,
A toss of a coin to help me decide the order.
And as i lay down,
And the life drains from my body,
Memory came flooding my cranium,
With no memory of our courtship,
With no memory of our engagement,
With no memory of our wedding,
Only then it dawned on me,
that I WAS NEVER MARRIED...
