Rolling waves, crashing against the shore
A woman stands on the shore, crying
For she lost someone she had loved
She loved him so, not denying.
Their relationship was like the tide
Had its highs and lows
Both had nothing to hide
Every emotion to show.
Standing there and staring out at sea
She thought of her dear friend
Fighting cancer like a bee
Finding nectar for his hive.
They were to be married that fall
All plans made out
Their love sturdy as a wall
But God had to take a shout.
Sitting alone, drinking something
Always an alcoholic
He promised he’d stop
But broke that promise like a clock.
He fought the cancer strong and true
But that’s not why he died
Her soon-to-be husband died from the alcohol
He died from D.U.I.
Friday night, he had too much to drink
He thought he needed to drive
Getting in the car, didn’t even think
Thought he would survive.
His car spun out of control
He was so drunk
The police man who was on patrol
Sped over to get him.
The police man arrived, but too late
The man’s car was around the bend
The officer called for backup
But the man was already dead.
He died at midnight, Friday night
They called the girl
It was quite a sight
Seeing her fiancée dead on the road.
The woman stands on the shore
Wondering why God did this
Take something from her core
Someone she’ll miss.
She sank to the ground and cried
Cried until the tide came up
Right then and there she died
Just so she could be with her fiancée.
