Dead and Gone

When you're dead and gone

The rivers will still flow

And the world will still go on

Even though yours won't

You will always be remembered

As the one who took her life

To rid her world of pain

A greedy sacrifice

You told me that you loved me

You made me feel you cared

But your implacable action

Didn't leave me to be spared

You coveted an escape

From all the pain you endured

And you left me here with him;

His anger never cured

So when you're dead and gone

The rivers will still flow

And my life will still go on

Even though yours won't
