"Dear love of my life,
we've been through a lot.
Take a look at our hearts
and the scars they've still got.
"Thank you for the forgiveness,
for the key to your heart.
No matter what happens,
we'll never be apart.
"You're my reason for working hard.
You're why I carry on.
I will forever love you
....even though you're gone."
A single loss brought tear;
tears of sadness and tears of anger.
Now his tears became his truth in words
that fell upon the paper.
"I took the shots for you
and you didn't know for so long.
I told you then I was your hero,
so brave and very strong!
"But I was lying to you.
Their words are stinging knives."
And with a sigh, he wrote "goodbye"
before finally pulling the trigger
to end his life.
