Staring
as they lowered you
Wandered my mind lost
Stay you said
Such things to do
So much to prove
Home and away
Never long to stay
Love never to sway
Hand placed upon my back
" I told you to love her "
Vision a blur
my soul begins to crack
Remembering looking into her eyes
Glorious serendipitous heavenly skies
Memory... A piece of my heart's demise
Hand squeezes my shoulder
" and I know you did so did my daughter "
Fiery charges burn much colder
My world forever darker
Traded our dreams on could
Sold our hopes on might
Never seeing what I should
Hand pats my back, feel the concern
" You can't be everywhere "
Truth crushing overwhelming Iron
" No; Just should have been here "
In her name
For her cause
I'm to blame
I
Wasn't
Here
To
Stand
