After the murder Ted remained at the scene. When a policeman approached him he was overcome with emotions. The officer tried to calm him down, but this elicited only a frantic response that ultimately landed him the back of a squad car. He was only released after a minister arrived and demanded that Ted be let out. When it became time to inform Janets mother Ted insisted that she should be the one to tell her. He went in and broke the devastating news. For a brief moment they were all on the same side, and consoled each other. This was later to change as charges were brought forth against Ted.
The second lyric deals with the final goodbye and Teds subsequent spiral into misery. I have taken liberties in my portrayal, but smatterings of truth still lingers. Most of these words are written from Teds point of view, and obviously I cannot even begin to comprehend what he went through. I hope I never will.
I kissed your lips
I touched your hair
I walked away
into the void of despair
I saw the blood
I saw the gun
and such misery
from which I couldn't run
I don't want to remember,
but I can't seem to forget
The tapestry of memories
in fragmented silhouettes
Hell must be a better place than this
There is guilt
there is fear
and such agony
that will never disappear
The taste of terror
the scent of dread
The turmoil intertwined
with the chaos in my head
I've descended the trail
to the maze in my mind
I fumble in darkness
where the light never shine
I've lost you my darling
and I wish I knew why
I always thought I'd be
the first one to die
