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
