Her heart stopped beating, stopped pumping blood.
The blood that flowed o'er me like a flood.
I did not mean it, not this way.
Senseless death. There'll be hell to pay.
I loved that girl. I truly did!
Until that secret from me she hid.
She loved another, she broke my heart.
She seemed to enjoy tearing my life apart.
So I killed her. I have no remorse.
After what she did, it was my only recourse.
I only wish it didn't have to be.
At least now, she'll spend eternity with me.
Forever she'll lay on the right side of my bed,
In her sheer lace nightie, of bright red.
She's not as pretty as she was once before,
But now I know she'll be mine forevermore.
