Your the one to pick up the pieces

I held her while she died
covered her in flowers
sang to her while she passed
kissed her and gently put her to the floor as if she slept
as i left i broke down
and you were there to pick up the pieces
i was too upset to cry
so i just made soundless sobs
you cradled me in your arms
when the sobs stopped you didn't stop
you knew i was still upset
you picked up the pieces and cello taped me back together
