The gift of life   The curse of life    The bitterness     The jealousy      The heartbreak The pain of love   The thrill of love    Pursuing the impossible     A conquered heart      What cuts us to our core... The greatest gift of life is our loneliness, our pain. The things that make us vulnerable to love from one another. To have a shattered heart be held by a friend, as you confess to being violated. Cut my heart in two with this hope. Shiver my spine with this fear; That I will suffer loneliness all my days, That not a single day will I ever be alone. Set me off on the river in my casket, When I am gone with the flowers passing. I'm waiting for the fall, for the gift of life... I tell you again: the greatest gift of life is our loneliness, our pain. The things that make us vulnerable to love from one another.

The Gift of Life
The gift of life   The curse of life    The bitterness     The jealousy      The heartbreak The pain of love   The thrill of love    Pursuing the impossible     A conquered heart      What cuts us to our core... The greatest gift of life is our loneliness, our pain. The things that make us vulnerable to love from one another. To have a shattered heart be held by a friend, as you confess to being violated. Cut my heart in two with this hope. Shiver my spine with this fear; That I will suffer loneliness all my days, That not a single day will I ever be alone. Set me off on the river in my casket, When I am gone with the flowers passing. I'm waiting for the fall, for the gift of life... I tell you again: the greatest gift of life is our loneliness, our pain. The things that make us vulnerable to love from one another.
A bit more abstract than I intended it to be... hope everyone likes it.
