To love and lose

Know that to love and lose
Is the same as to live and die
To follow a perfect dream
And then the worst nightmare
You were the only one I'd choose
You were my sweetest hope inside
You were the secret that I keep
Now I know that life is not fair
Life is decay, just watch the news
Why do any of us bother to try
Step off the edge and leap
It isn't even upon a dare
Death offers, and seduces
Tells you to commit suicide
Makes you want to scream
Wearing sackcloth I'll rip and tear
As I mourn my loss of you
This is the end of anything true
My remorse comes I didn't die with you
The life for me since you left is proof
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
There is nothing
After you've lost your love



Si vis me flere, dolendum est
Primum ipsi tibi.


Horace
