Love

I was holding her against my chest
I really was trying my best,
I stared at her bright blue eyes,
And started to fiddle with my tie.

I loved her more than she knew,
Especially when she dressed in blue.
I wanted to kiss her lips,
But just pulled her closer to my hips.

I heard the police car come,
I know it’s crazy but I wanted to hum.
I wanted to close her eyes but could not
It was then I started to feel really hot.

The gun was down at her side,
Why oh why had she lied?
Red jewels of blood were flowing out her head
Who would have thought we were almost wed?

I heard the police shouting through the door
I really can’t take it anymore,
Please stop that horrible sound
It’s like being in a dog pound!

I knew what to do with seconds to spare,
I started to weep into her blonde hair.
I picked up the gun, drew it close to my mouth
I already felt like a miserable Louth

I loved that girl more than anything other
And that includes my own mother,
I closed my eyes and started to cry
I loved that girl and that’s no lie
