Sangria

Amore', my love
Adore', unspoken
Te quiero, unheard

When you held me, 'til I went to sleep
Then sliced your wrists so very deep
How did you know that I would rise
To find you bloody, and fast asleep

I did not let you die that day
But knew you'd find another way
With overdose or gun or knife
That's why I didn't call you wife

I threw away your poem last year
I couldn't stand to see the fear
Of living life with it's travails
Or seeing foul wind fill the sails

I never did believe you could
Die alone, yet feel so good
About the blood upon the floor
And the note upon the door

"Don't come in here alone" it said
But fools rush in, you know it's said
The ambulance just took it's time
So sorry I can't make this rhyme

Thirty years can't change the film
The end's the same, it never ends

Vaya con dios, mi amore'
