The heavy heart braves the day Like a sun-ripenened raspberry, bulging and quivering On the verge of dispersement
What do you call the pain on your chest? "Loss" is the name I say. Loss of love, of trust, of happiness, of strength. Loss of family, of safety, of faith, of me.
So many losses, too many to count-- That bear weight on my chest each day. And when a compassionate soul comes my way The day becomes very wet.
