Tell me again of all the days to come,
Of how you’ll be my partner through it all.
My eyes aren’t working right, my hands are numb;
The story’s at an end, here, in this hall,
And I am left with dreams I’ve held so long
That letting go of them, though right, seems wrong.

Tell me again you’ll never, never change;
Tell me the lies I must have longed to hear.
There are announcements, but the voice seems strange,
As down the passageway you disappear,
And I am left to grief and to despair —
Another feeling you and I won’t share.

Instead, I guess, I’ll tell myself again:
I made what-never-was what-should-have-been

Come see the picture-perfect love
That’s now grown into tears:
The marriage of a lifetime, that
Did not make it five years

She mourns alone in heartache, while
He parties with his guys;
The pictures sit upon the shelf
And tell their timeless lies

And grief – it comes in many forms
Like pictures of a bride
And groom, that look so perfect
One can’t see
What’s there
Inside
