She never
really had a chance
On that fateful
moonlit night
Sacrificed
without a fight
A victim of
the circumstance
Now that
I've become aware
And I've exposed
this tragedy
A sadness grows
inside of me
It all seems so unfair
I'm learning
all about my life
By looking
through her eyes
Just beyond
the churchyard gates
Where the grass
is overgrown
I saw the writing
on her stone
I felt like
I would suffocate
In loving memory
of our child
So innocent
eyes open wide
I felt so empty
as I cried
Like part of me
had died
I'm learning
all about my life
By looking
through her eyes
And as her image
wandered through my head
I wept just like a baby
as I lay awake in bed
And I know
what it's like
to lose someone
you love
And this felt
just the same
She wasn't given
any choice
Desperation
stole her voice
I've been given
so much more in life
I've got a son
I've got a wife
I had to suffer
one last time
To grieve for her
and say goodbye
Relieve the anguish
of my past
To find out
who I was at last
The door
has opened wide
I'm turning
with the tide
Looking through her eyes
