How can you be my world one day
and destroy it in the next?
With just four little words you have taken
my most precious memories
and condemned them to a most heartless death.
All the beauty of our first years
taken away in a second.
By four little words
and a stray thought of the flesh.
You have once again condemned us to return
and seek the knowledge we must learn,
before we can shed this prison we call flesh.
How many times? I thought this one was it.
I felt within a joy of promised freedom
only to realize, we must return again.
Sometimes I think, I will go on without you,
but then I remember, you have all that I am.
So here I stay, so close to you.
With a distrust in my heart
and a love that cannot be stopped.
Yes, I will be returning with you.
With a hope in my heart,
that this will be our last.
For trust is our lesson
And our end so far.
