• Thank you
    by Jordon Tripp

    Most of my life
    i have been like
    steel and stone
    metal and rock

    I have heard
    the saddest of stories
    I have seen
    the hardest of moments

    I have been called
    many things
    i have been called
    dark, soulless, heartless

    I have never
    been moved
    not mentally
    not emotionally

    then it changed
    all of it changed
    all with in an instant
    i had a heart

    I met someone
    and loved her
    she met me
    and loved me back

    we saw each
    other, rarely
    but every moment we did
    we cherished them

    the moments
    were limited
    for we did not know
    what the world planned for us

    on a day like any other
    the one who gave me a heart
    was taken away
    by the cruel fate of all things

    I have always
    blamed myself
    for not being there
    in her final moments

    now i live
    for her
    and for
    me

    if i was given
    a choice of words to say
    to her before she left
    i would say, "Thank you."
