I feel too tired to be alive
Yet sleep doesn’t come
My head’s so full of questioning thoughts
What more could I have done?
They tell me these thoughts are natural
That they’ll gradually go away
But for the moment they’re bombarding my brain
More troubling by night than by day.
Love ties us with its invisible cord
That doesn’t want to be broken
Even though by death we are parted now
I cling tightly to the token.
The ring that speaks of your love for me
The ring I still have on my finger
And the words, “I love you will you marry me?”
Wondrous memories that with me still linger.
So I’ll concentrate on these memories
And others down through the years
Then maybe I’ll be able to sleep
As you wipe away my tears.
