sometimes we lose
we knew it was coming, we cried right from the start, you said, life can be a struggle and sometimes you lose, I look to the West in the evening, I watch as the light dies down, I think about how you withered away and how the darkness comes, I look to the East in the morning, I’ve come to expect warmth from the sun, we were building on our dreams, our lives had just begun
we knew it was coming, we cried right from the start, you said, life can be a struggle and sometimes you lose, I conjure thoughts of you, as the rays bathe my face in the sun, our parting in life won’t mean my memories can be undone, your breath has been taken away but your ideas live here within me, maybe someday I will understand
we knew it was coming, we cried right from the start, you said, life can be a struggle and sometimes we lose
