--- Doomed

Doomed if I see you,
--------------- doomed if not
Doomed to love you,
--------------- though your body rot

My arms' embrace
--------------- meets naught but air
I reach out,
--------------- but you're not there

You must have wept in agony
--------------- written your short good-bye
Now the bed is cold beside me
--------------- where before your body lie

We sat before our window
--------------- watched the rain becoming thicker
You always brought hot cocoa
--------------- now I bring liqueur

My meals pass without nutrition,
--------------- sleep is an agony
They tell me I must move on
--------------- but you were all of me

We never said the vows
--------------- "til death do us part"
I don't think I knew how
--------------- but I meant it in my heart

I knew you loved the child,
--------------- but I made you do the deed
The abortion killed the child
--------------- death became my creed

Wrenched from the womb
--------------- like some awful weed
Plucked from love and life itself
--------------- he would never even breath

They all despised our love
--------------- we longed to be free
You found freedom above,
--------------- then they hated me

They say I'm doomed to Hell,
--------------- if I choose to follow you
I think, "I might as well"
--------------- I'll be doomed here too

I would have risked my life
--------------- to remain at your side
This time to do so,
--------------- I must truly die

I feel these silent agonies
--------------- I think death would be divine
I read your final letter
--------------- now here is mine

Doomed if I'm with you,
--------------- doomed if not
Doomed to love you,
--------------- from a neighboring plot.
