Silently Died

We were out for a walk,
When I turned her way.
You're not going to like,
What I have to say.

Her face went pale and
She put up her guard,
Knowing my news
Would hit her hard.

I said, "I can't love you,
I'm sorry, I tried.
It was her left eye that teared
And her heart that cried.

She said, "I hate you,"
As she turned and ran,
She looked back yelling,
"You're not even a man!"

I chased after her,
Though she drifted from sight,
I was so scared,
Concerned that she might.

I got to her house,
My worst fear came true.
As she stood holding a knife,
She yelled, "Screw You!"

It took this moment
To help me see,
That I truly loved her
And she truly loved me.

Now my love is on the edge,
And it wasn't an act.
I told her I loved her,
And I took it all back.

She said, "It's a lie,
You don't love me.
But this kitchen knife does,
And it will set me free.

I started to beg,
"Please, Honey, no!"
But she closed her eyes
And in it did go.

It caused so much pain that
She couldn't stand anymore.
She dropped to her knees
Then, to the floor.

I ran to her body,
And crouched at her side,
The pain was a feeling,
Even I couldn't hide.

It was all my fault,
My love took her life,
It may as well have been me,
Holding the knife.

I held her hand,
And touched her face.
I tried to stop the bleeding,
Just above her waist.

The last thing she said,
Forever in my mind.
That I killed my true love and
That is hard to find.

I told her I loved her and
Started to cry,
She turned her head away,
And silently died.
