Do you not see me here were i did fall?
Your name in whispered breath i call.
Will you not remember the girl who gave you your life?
Whose face was scarred by her tormenters knife.
When you stand at the alter with her in her dress,
Will you think of the girl who gave more for less?
Though your eyes are on me, your thoughts are on her.
Can't you forget the girl whose fathers a cur?
Yes, my father lives most of his time in some jail,
But her fathers a convict, his parole he did fail.
You know that day; i never wanted your sou
But i thought of something else you could do.
Do you remember the man of whom i told you before?
My fathers his thief, and i am his whore.
Did you know i kept loving you day after day?
I even took from you that built that came your way.
Do you remember those words i wrote with your pen?
That day was when i knew i would see you again.
Have you just forgotten the things that I've done?
When they came to her house, i did not run.
What did you think of me? There in the street,
Scrounging for scraps of garbage to eat.
As she sat in her garden, i slept in a ditch,
And when she was the princess, i was the witch.
I will tell you that it was me that led you to die,
Those words were the very last trick i could try.
Will you love me when we're together at last?
Could you ever forget the things of our past?
That when at last her address i did find,
Cold tears froze my heart and numbed my mind.
That was the day that i knew it was true,
While you loved each other, I'd be alone loving you.
When i saw that cold gun aimed at your heart,
I knew that in a moment, my love could be torn apart.
So i threw myself in front of that gun,
Time slowed down, and my fears faded to one.
The fear you wouldn't see me that you didn't care.
Then the gun went off, and only pain was there.
I lay there for hours, alone in my doom,
I realized this alleyway would soon be my tomb.
Although you never loved me, my future is clear,
You can love me in heaven, because you can't here.
Alone in my misery, cold tears i did weep,
I hoped you would find me before that long sleep.
Unlike me, you can't choose the time you depart,
But until then, i'll be watching your heart.
When i see you in heaven, you should not be mad,
Because i gave you the letter, although it made me sad.
The rain now dampens my long matted hair,
But nothing can hurt me as long as your there.
The time will come soon now, the pain flares and kills,
My life is departing; I've climbed all my hills.
Did you ever think that your mighty plan would fail?
While over your faces death draws its cold veil.
On the pain which from you i carefully hide,
My life will wash out like the tide.
Do not mourn me; we'll soon be together,
But this time though it will at last be forever.
In a minute, i will sleep in your arms,
Knowing your protection will keep me from harms.
Goodbye Mousier Marius, I'll see you again soon,
The nymphs of death sing their old dreary tune.
I feel icy fingers upon my limp wrists,
But soon my lips by yours will be kissed.
I hear the silent toiling of deaths domed bell,
I see the dark hands reaching for were i last fell.
As this last one favor you owe me,
When i am dead i beg you to kiss me.
And i think Mousier Marius; i was a little bit in love with you.
