That Loss Inside
05 September 2006

There will always be a loss
a loss inside, that place not to hide
As pain does endure, and memory not forget
gone away, yet still here to behold

His heart, her soul, mother, father, kin
that race we all run, that death can beat
Teardrops of failure, such defeat
there is always something not to enjoy

We mourn, we banish our feelings away
then we look back, in screaming "WHY?"
The torn ripping, damning under light
there will always be a loss, a loss inside

Never to fear, to keep and retain
every memory, one to rejoice
To look to God and say "CRIKEY!"
it was your bloody choice
