Tall man in leather with animal grace

Such depth in your eyes such a beautiful face

You stole my heart when you gave me your soul

I still hold it inside but I'm a fragile bowl



How I miss your deep voice softly speaking my name

Or calling me "Sugar" lighting my flame

I so miss everything about our life

The way that you asked me and made me your wife



You made everything else, me happy most of all

When we ate you cooked it

You made the art on our wall

You made our nest perfect you made me walk tall



I miss the ways that you loved me

How you loved to wear black

Your tattooed shoulders

Your tattooed back



My face misses your hands

My body does too

My head on your chest

Hand stroking that tattoo



Your strong arms around me

Holding me tight

Kept me close to you

All through each night



Your voice in my ears

Professing your love

Making me laugh

Dispelling my fears



Your legs like your body

So long and so lean

Handsomely straddling

Your vibrating machine



Tanned muscled arms tattooed hand

Steel toed boots and black ray bans

Ripped and torn jeans sleeveless T's

I think of you when I see these



Long dark curls flappin' in the wind

Chin whiskers and moustache surrounded your grin

Silver chain hung from your hip

Throttle and brake in your iron grip



Names of your girls inked into your skin

The name of your woman also therein

That name is mine and my initials on your back

Not in bright colors but all in black



I always said I'd never get a tat

But then I did, imagine that

After you died and on your Birthday

I found it was the only way to say



You made a mark upon my soul

You filled a solitary role

You saved my life but now you're gone

As long as I live you will live on



I put that mark upon my skin

To remind me of you within

How you changed my perception of the world

How you made me the world's luckiest girl
