Love Stains

How many tears must I cry

And how many days must pass me by

Before I stop questioning the Lord asking Why

Why did you take love away from me

What did I do to deserve this pain

It seems like love had nothing for me to gain

Only a change in my last name

Now my last name is all I have left

For the second time, I cry the same tears

Thinking of all the wonderful memories I consumed over the years

Now because of it all, love has become one of my greatest fears

Because I can't imagine having this feeling again

First time it happened, I thought I wouldn't make it

The spell the devil put on my heart, I thought I would never break it

But I moved on, found love and lost it again, now I can't take it

What else is there left for me to do

After being crowned by my king

And proudly standing by his side, wearing his ring

Here I sit crying, listening to the psalmist sing

As I look into his eyes for the last time

A part of me wants to give up and rest next to him

But I have to be strong for them

Feeling down and barely hanging on by a limb

I pull myself back up and I smile

Even though you are not with me physically

I still give to you all of me

And as long as I live, I will always be

Your good thing

For you found me and made me your wife

Unselfishly, you gave your freedom as a sacrifice

And provided me with the best years of my life

All because you loved me

And even though you are gone

And I sleep each night in our bed alone

I still feel your presence in our home

Because your love is unfading
