Loss

Weve all endured loss

It's as if someone cut into your chest

And rips out a piece of your heart

Leaving it hollow

It's as if someone takes a knife

And cuts into your lungs

So breathing seems impossible

It's the most unbearable pain

Until you realize

At least when someone dies

The pieces are taken

And you learn to live without them

And live with less

Until you realize

That the hardest loss you can feel

The hardest pain you can endure

Is losing someone

And seeing them everyday

It's as if the pieces

The ones they stole

Are hanging around their necks

As a sort of taunting trophy

I've felt loss

Loss from the ones closest to me

All who took pieces of me

But the hardest pain I have to feel

Is watching you walk happily

And live your life freely

While my heart and breath

Is carelessly chained to you

The hardest pain

Is watching you be happy

While all I feel

Is the loss of you
