Portraits
This Small Bed
As the sun goes down I think
about life.
And why did God put me in
this situation, to be away
from my wife.
Most nights I cry because
I left you lonely.
Laying in this small bed wishing
you could hold me.
I love you dearly
you already know it,
but this is the best way
I can show it.
Until death do us part,
until my heart falls apart.
My love will be here for you
like it's been from the start.
