No longer guilty

She was covered in a white sheet

Tears were streaming down her face

While she quickly ran down the street

And away from what she once called grace

 

There was a bomb in her head

And an bullet in her chest

Her husband was dead

And so were the rest

 

She tried to fight the pain

Searching for an answer

She needed someone to explain

Why he died of cancer

 

Her heart was as cold as stone

As she tried to figure out

A way to take back the throne

And find a new route

 

She stood there in the pouring rain

Wishing he was still alive

So he could take away this pain

So he could help her survive

 

She sat there in silence

Waiting for the bomb to go off

So God could stop the violence

But she could still hear him cough

 

The man that she once loved so much

Was now far away

She was longing for his touch

And for the first time, she sat down to pray

 

For the first time in her life

Another man healed her heart

He took away the knife

And turned her life into art

 

Her husband is still in her life,

He is up there in the sky,

Waiting for his lovely wife

To do as him, and tell the world goodbye

 

For one man to die

To save the love of his life

For him to be that guy

That gave God his wife

 

This was his everlasting dream

She used to be filthy

But now she was clean

And no longer guilty
