Why?

Why, oh why, did your wife have to die?
To say it was expected, would be a lie.
She cared for other monsters more than herself,
You still have her picture upon your shelf.
Why, oh why, did your wife have to die?
I don't think we'll ever know the reason why.

Why, oh why, did your wife have to die?
She was gentle and quiet, and a little bit shy.
She wasn't a horrible monster like most,
Instead, she was kind and would never want to boast.
Why, oh why, did your wife have to die?
Sadly, it's time to say goodbye.
