Anniversary

Another year gone by

This would've been our ninth

But you left this world before our third

I still remember our wedding day

My dress, your tux, our vows

Vows, til death do us part

You chose death and our fairytale ended

Ripped from the storybook

Crumpled and discarded

Me left alone with only memories of you

This day I remember our wedding

But another anniversary has overshadowed this one

That is the one of your death

A day so burned on my soul that I still smell the singed remnants of our future lost

Today on what would've been, what could've been

I imagine and I dream of things that will never come to be

Happy lonely anniversary to me
