The great beauty of life
All the error and strife
All the sadness cast
When love doesn't last
When your torn and shred
Left gutted and bled
Solitude and misery
No longer your enemy
Cry let it out
Scream rage and shout
Then open your eyes
Relax and realize
Life isn't ending
Merely transcending
When the self pity and weeping
And the emotional reaping
Finally stop and unblind you
A new love will find you
And gloriously bind you
