I Couldn'T Save You Poem by Patrick Shields

I'm Tossing and Turning In My Bed Dreaming Of You
You Start Walking Towards Me With A Smile On Your Beautiful Face
I Reach To Touch Your Cheak But My Hand Goes Thorugh You I Wisper It Can't Be
Than You Turn To Glass and Fall To The Floor Shattering Like A Vase

I Wake Up Sweat Falling From My Forehead
Tears Start To Fall From My Dark Brown Eyes
I Wipe Them Away Its Only Been Two Weeks Since You Where Found Dead
They Said You Where Murdered But I Know They Where Lies

I Know What Really Happened But I Couldn't Save You
When I Got The Phone Call From Your Mom I Broke Down
The Night Before Your Skin Was Tan and Warm Now It Was Cold and Blue
I Cried So Much I Wished That In My Tears I'd Drown

I Just Wish I Could've Said Goodbye
I Wish I Could've Told You I Loved You More Than Anything
But I Couldn't Save You I Wished I Could've Also Died
Now You've Left This World Of Sarrows You Now A Spirit Being

I Sit In My Bed Looking For Our Favorite Picture Of Us Together
I Find It and Hold It Close To My Heart I Can Almost Hear Is Beat
I Failed You Because I Promised I'd Protect You From Everything Forever
The Last We Where Together Your Lips Where So Sweet

But Those Good Times Are Over Now I Wish You Where Here With Me
I Start To Fall Back To Sleep Back Into My Dreams
The Only Place I Can See Thee
I Just Hope You'll Be Able To Read What I Wrote Here Because I'm Withering At The Seams

Soon I Hope I'll Join You In The Grave
Because I Miss You So Much My True Love My Only One
Because Your Life I Was Unable To Save
I Look Forward To The Day My Earthly Course Is Done
