I miss the way you laughed
But now all i have is the photograph
Of you, of you, of you!
I wish it was more, but what can I do?
I crossed over the rail bridge today
Heading home, the same old way
I thought of immortality
And if I would take it, if it was offered to me?
I thought about this pain I carry, this open sore
And how many more people I'll lose who I adore?
I walked across the green parks
Kids playing football amongst the dogs barks
And I remembered the first pain of loss
How my feelings hanged from dental floss
I had a dog called Bootsie
She meant the world to me
She died when I was eighteen
Little did I know this was just the beginning
I think of my brothers and so many others
All having a life spam ready to expire
I think when my life has to retire
I think of the loss of having a mother
Then her dying and never having another
I admit to you, I am afraid to love
For is love really enough?
The pain, the pain, THE PAIN!
I don't want to feel it again
I'm a car running on empty
I sometimes hate being me
Then as quickly as it started
Like the Red Sea it's parted
A split second of unbearable pain
Then I'm back again, playing the game
Of life……
