I learned the meaning of "absolute,"
An early morning in December.
It's carved right into my very soul;
So there's no effort to remember.

It is scarred and crusted over now
And yet, it still seems to hurt no less,
Than the day I had to just give up
And give up all hope to hopelessness.

Some hearts just will never be altered
But mine is not what it used to be
The day I learned what "absolute" was,
Made me a sadder version of me.
