Twas a cold day in winter
A NorEastern did blow
visability was lacking
in the wind and the snow
I trudged ever onward
to see my beloved one more time
To tell her I love her
and that all would be fine
The figure that followed
in this barren land
Was trying to prevent me
from my task at hand
Please leave me alone
I shouted to deaf ears
as it grew ever closer
It would catch me I fear
But I need just one more moment
to hold her and kiss her lips
The figure was unyeilding
and had me in its grip
I pleaded and begged
but it was all for naught
I couldn't even barter
This thing could not be bought
I looked down from above
My wife dressed all in black
This fucking bastard
won't let me go back
I should have told her everyday
how much she meant to me
But we take our loved ones for granted
Not thinking of what could be
Let my tale be a lesson
From Marley's Ghost to you all
Don't neglect the ones you love
In case The Reaper comes to call
