The Greatest Things
Tight, tight.
Too tight, grr! I scream.
Loosen it, loosen it.
Now that's much better.
They said it looked great,
Said it was fashionable,
But all the same - it was killing me.
Why is it that the greatest things in life
Are the ones that hurt the most?
Intricate details that lay gossamer thin,
Speaking of secrets from the grave.
Shh, don't tell because the greatest things
Are what always the hurt the most.
Haven't you noticed?
A moment of pleasure - what did it take?
Pain? Sacrifice? Depression?
Was it worth it? Ah, there we are!
The greatest things in life
Are the ones that hurt the most.
