A Grief Observed
It's a grief observed
And the problem is a problem of pain.
We've lost our faith,
And we point the blame to the grave...
Only torture, only torment
Will bring out the truth in a man like me.
You took my love
You took my health
"Why not take all of me?
Why not take all of me?", he said.
Because either way you win.
If this is perceived
Just by what is seen
I'll never come to believe that such a hardship
goes so far beyond me.
So unexpected, but in retrospect...
I know it's all for good.
