Lighthouse

He wanted her to be with him
And to never be apart.
But his days were left for dying
And she was the hope in his heart.

He told her that he loved her
And that his love was real,
Begged her to want his dying form,
Say words she didn't feel.

The angered waves were raging,
The sky turned cold and grey.
She had the choice to leave him or love him
And watch his life slip away.

And she chose to walk through his darkness
Unguided as one who is blind.
She closed her eye to dream of peace
But there was no peace to find.
