Still Like The Winter

I awoke to find you coughing

Like so many nights before

You just smiled at me through the sickness

And said you couldn't suffer through more

Then you asked me to give you mercy

As the tears rolled down my face

And you whispered that you'd miss me

And then you left alone in this place

I pleaded for forgiveness

As you slipped away into the light

When the angels came to take you

And left me alone in the night

Then you lay there, still like the winter

As your skin turned as cold as snow

And I held you tight through the morning

And it was so hard to finally let go

I pleaded for forgiveness

As you slipped away into the night

When the angels came to take you

And left me without your light

And left me without your light
