Loss: the numbness inside
Hope: delusions of pride
Alone: life's lessons are hard
Gone: the vision was wrong
Coming to grips with intense grief
The struggle inside
Forlorn, impalpable void
Crying out for life
Reaching out, invisible hand
Drawn close, never seen
Returned to earth yet cherished in memory
Shadow of a dream
Detached, yet under tremendous strain
Resisting that this is the end of it
Fortified, logical core
Not yet breached by desire
Even if we somehow could learn to see
Sorrows lying in wait, regardless
We're sentenced to grieve, helpless
A thousand times more
Frustration overwhelming
Going under, craving meaning
One thing's certain
It won't be the last time
What we love is taken away from us
