Loss
When you are fifty feet deep in a hole that never recedes
And you know your not alone because your friend hugs your knees
You still feel cold and alone and sad
Because you know there is no staying forever
Even if it's your mother or your dad
Friendship is temporary
But love is a permanent thing
You will feel your heart explode
When she gets a boyfriend and then a new ring
You will feel left behind in the dust
Unsure if you can or if you must
Will any one care
If you die over here or even over there?
You grab the knife
Feel the sharp tip
Think of all the hard times throughout your short life
You bring it to your shaking wrist
Breathing heavily and hard
You puncure the skin
Feel the pain travel through your arm
You remember the times
When you sat in that hole
Fifty feet deep
There was really no where to go
At least you had her
Sharing all the good memories
You talked for hours
About all the dead flowers
She will miss you
No matter how far away you may be
She loved you
And love
Is an infinite
Throughout all eternity
Good and bad
A classic movie situation: good and bad,
Not a thought to be had,
You know right at the opening scene,
Who is nice and who is mean.
The Sith and the Jedi,
The light and the dark,
The man and the monster,
Understanding and strife.
Though you have to ask: how is this connected to life?
The answer my friend is not where we begin,
It is perspective and what we've got in our heads,
The way we see right and wrong,
It depends on our side.
People try to do their best with good intentions,
Yet the more powerful sides gives the others pensions,
It is not right or wrong,
It depends how you sing your song.
There is no good or bad there is only perspective,
The Sith think their way is better,
The Jedi think it's theirs,
Yet there's a better solution to the Star Wars,
They need to sit down to make others see reason,
With words and not treason,
Perspective is a powerful thing,
It starts wars and ends them and sometimes does something in between.
Perspective is strong.
