'Mistakes' Poem by Amy Lee

My new life has begun
Listening to a silent gun
That has left me alone
For I have grown
I thank him for coming along
And stopping my song
For I’ve been looking for my star
Now I’ve found my star
And you lost your star
I so you standing there waiting for me
Wondering if it’s real or a fantasy
Now I wish you were here in my sight
And I look towards the light
I see something out there
That I wish was here
Remembering your walk
And the way you talked
The reaper sent you to me
Through somebody’s else feet
He found you worthy of testing
For you help me learn my lesson
Making me stay in love with you
For I was meant for you
We were meant to stay together
We smile at each other
Letting me know it was you standing in front of me
Removing the tape so that I could see
Listening to your words this time around
So that you wouldn’t fall to the ground
While we have just started fresh
Trying hard not to be put back to the test
Busting out of prison
At the end of my bed waits my son?
He has a lot to look forward to
For I’m there for him when he doesn’t know what to do
Not letting him know my whole life was a mess
So that he wouldn’t fall into my test
Wondering if I would live to see him grow
But I would never know
How situations may turn out
For a light just went out
At night ... a sound awoken me
My son knocked off his feet
To be kneeling over his father’s body
Looking around for somebody
Tears falling down his face
Knowing it’s the end of the race
Seeing this classic horror
Right at his door
Being stuck in one place
Not at our own pace
A couple months later
The same threat happened later
My son stood over my body
But he decided not to look for anybody
The reaper might have a given us another chance
He left something in between our romance
He left a son of evil
All our mistakes put into one devil
