The first time
I died
The second time
I cried

The difference?
There's not one
Because the damage
Can't be undone

The first time
I loved
The second time
I loved

The difference?
There's not one;
both times
I lost one.

Hope is not lost
But I definitely am
So don't look for me
Where light turns to sand

Only one difference thrives
In my cold scourn hands,
And that the first time
Was the last time
I should have
ever loved again.
