Lie Lived

Nine

To Eliza:

Oh Eli, don't be this way.

You know someday things will be okay.

I am your friend, no, your love.

All yours forever and always.

These words are true.

I wish to ease your pain,

I wish to give you the kiss of life.

If I had the God given ability

My sweet, I would do that

And so much more.

Oh, how I wish time were on our side.

Leonard
