"A game well played"

Is what she might have said

If your ends weren't so frayed

And she wasn't dead

She would have patted you on the back

And grabbed hold of your hand

If her body weren't in a sack

And you were a better man

Your actions may not have killed her

She extinguished that candle herself

But you could have tried to stop her

Then she wouldn't have lost her one and only true wealth

So now she lies on an ice cold shelf

While you are tucked into your warm feather bed

The bed she made herself

But you still have a hell burning in your head

You can continue to live your hell on earth

While she lives the life she has always deserved

And you will be reminded of your tragedy

In the mirror everyday

Well enough she has said

And it may be your turn to wish yourself dead.
