Woken up,

Deep in the night,

I blink away sleep,

And look to my right,

Realise it's empty,

The space where you were,

So long ago,

It's all just a blur,

Slowly get up,

Turn on a light,

Try to get through this,

With all of my might,

I keep asking,

Why did you do it,

Slowly get through this,

Bit by slow bit,

The void keeps on growing,

Engulfing my soul,

I'm without direction,

Forgotten my role,

Sometimes I think,

That I hear your voice,

Utterally lost,

Why you made that choice,

When they came rushing,

It should have been me,

Yet on you came charging,

You wouldn't let be,

You took on the pain,

All on your own,

I tried to stand up,

All the pain shown,

I watched you fall,

Down on your knees,

I shouted to Heaven,

To answer my pleas,

So long it has been,

Yet I mourn you still

Alone I keep going,

Your voice I hear still,

Another year passes,

A vision I see,

I rub my eyes,

How could this be,

Blurry at first,

Then becomes clear,

I take a step forward,

In disbelief,

I never thought,

There'd be an end to my grief,

There you are standing,

As you looked before,

Only you could,

Bash down his door,

How did you do it?

Defy even death,

Hell, I would question,

Won't hold my breath,

I rush on up,

And hug you close,

Know that I love you,

The one I chose,
