Baggage

My car packed full, all my belongings in one place.
My heart empty and bare, all love and happiness gone from that place.
While I take my things with me, my soul behind I leave.
For who or what else to comfort my love when he will go to grieve?

Banished away am I for my sins, my mistakes and crime.
I wish I'd never forsaken my love simply for a "good time."
I cast no blame to him, but only to the mirror.
I still know not why I did it, as there's no one or thing I hold dearer.

I love him more than life itself, but perhaps it's better this way.
One less person to eat and harm and send the world astray.
A final look at my love so pure, the only picture I took.
Why, oh why, didn't I capture more moments, I already miss the look.

Contented to know he'd be safe tonight, my soul forever with him,
I chose a spot, icy and dangerous, with which to cast my last whim.
I love you, I sobbed as the car slid into the ditch,
Cast upon a tree so hard.. The tree, it took a pitch.

Not the way I would have liked to die, burning in a frozen world.
But better than living in a world that I had myself unfurled.
No trace behind, my things gone with me, against the fire no fight.
No trace but my soul, simply content to keep him warm again tonight.
