Life Long Friends
For each other they learned to bend,
she was his wife, his very best friend...
and he shot her,
his life for thirty years
protector from himself
he can't stop the flow of tears.
When they met
it was a given
they were meant for each other
for them... a beginning.
So much in love
they were young and alive
and throughout the years
their love never died.
It was hard to believe
there was an obvious change
niether one could handle
her continuous pain.
At first , they denied it
Cancer is just a name
her cries brought them round
his head held in shame.
He wanted to trade places
he would if he could
she was always his reasons
it was for her he'd been good.
She begged him to free her
he couldn't do it in the end
...and he shot her, with some help
from his life long friend
