The last time I saw my love
I only wish that I had tried
To give meaning to short time
Before his car flipped on its side
Despite the little hope
They say the doctors tried
They did everything they could
Then watched as my love died
That they could have saved him
No use, wishing that they would
Such a classic line to say,
“We did everything we could.”
How often do I try
And then I try again
How often do I fail
When I do everything I can
I go to wear the crash was
I watch as he disappears
I sit and even cry sometimes
I think about the years
I know I’m not the one who died
But I also could have been
What did I do to deserve this life?
Why me and why not him?
My doctor calls them unhealthy thoughts
He says I wear a mask
But I had a teacher once in life
Who said it never hurt to ask
Do not be embarrassed
You can even ask me twice
And when others ask be just the same
Don’t pass judgment and be nice
I suppose not all school lessons
In my life now apply
They said I’d have a life
They didn’t mention people die
I know I can’t move on
Yet I promise to the man
I say that I’ll keep trying
That I’ll do everything I can
They taught me math and chemistry
About the plants and sun and dirt
But they never taught me love
I never learned about the hurt
I made a promise, this I know
So I did as doctors would
I died alone and left a note,
“I did everything I could.”
