I knew that I didn't want her gone

Of all people in this world, she was the one

With star filled eyes that carried me home

And that warm smile like hot chocolate and a campfire

And I knew in a rain of red with flames filling the streets

And the knives and screams tearing at our minds that

She was what I wanted to see

That blood spattered, tear stained face

That looked tragic and perfect

I didn't want her gone and I didn't plan on losing her

For she was the gloomy, rainy day where you stayed inside

Under the covers

And she was the bright, dizzying lights on roller coasters

And she was the sunburned sky in the evening

When the clouds would set over our two

Quiet souls

She was the skyline in the city when

We visited over spring and she stared for hours

At the beauty

That wasn't nearly close to her own

She was long nights and peaceful mornings

She was car rides and airplanes 

And if there was one wish I had now

It would be to see her blood spattered,

Tear stained face

Looking like the home

She was to me
