PRIDE WAS LAST TO GO

The first thing that I noticed
That faded from our lives..
Was the glint of adoration
Which once shone within your eyes.
The second victim of our lives
I watched approach with dread...
Divergence of our interests...
And a coldness in our bed.
I watched our castle crumble
Like the ones upon the beach.
Each time we’d try to grasp a part
We’d find it out of reach.
I watched each magic moment
As it withered and it died.
I guess the last to disappear..
Was all my foolish pride.
Pride which caused the downfall
Pride which broke your heart-
Pride which drove the wedges
And made the teardrops start.
Now that it’s all over-
I just wanted you to know...
Of all the things I loved and lost
That pride was last to go.

There's only two ways you can go...
One way you can save your riches,
And the other will save your soul.

 Open arms can be the most fragile in the world...
