Numb

I stood there speechless, numb
Her silence cut like a dagger
I knew this day would come
Drifting thoughts angered
 
I took her for granted
And lived a reckless life
25 years together enchanted
She was such a loving wife
 
But I abused her and used her
Never once did I say please  
Never said I was thankful for
But now I'm crying on my knees
 
Come back to me sweetie
There's so much I want to say
Don't leave me so empty
I need you every day
 
You are my blood that flows
You are the air I breathe
The secrets only we know  
Why did you have to leave
 
All the time we had together  
The memories that we shared
I thought we'd be forever
Acting like I didn't care
 
You were everything I wanted
Everything and so much more
And now you have departed
This heartache there is no cure
 
My soul this reality has cut
As i see your smiling face
Before they close your casket
One last warm embrace
