My Baby Todd

No longer will your beautiful black eyes look up at me

I’m trying to forget how I imagined things would be

I loved and still love you with all my heart and soul

You being in my life made me whole

I can still see you laying here in my arms

Beguiling and delighting me with your many charms

The way you’d tilt your head when I would whistle

Now my heart feels torn apart by thistles

I just can’t take this anymore

I would move on but my heart’s too sore

Oh baby, why did you have to go

And leave me here where I can’t follow?

Silently the tears keep flowing

You out there and me not knowing

There you were silent and still

I want to die so I won’t feel

I’ll see you soon my sweet baby

It won’t be too long. I promise.
