I lay alone this dreary night

Thinking of what once was

Your tears upon my people

Your sorrow spilled against my ear

The lies you told me to save your skin

The moments you stole from our children

The food missing from our table

All these things we remember

As we mourn your now permanent absence

You left us here above ground

As you are now tucked in down below

Our only visits now

Are to a stone engraved with our

Undying love

Despite your infidelity

And your true marriage to a bottle

That blackened your liver

And stole your soul

But nonetheless

We love you endlessly
