The Despondent Minds

Something to Lose

For Klein

It has come
The day that I had dread.
You boarded a plane,
Packed your things and left.

Long ago,
I used to have so much faith
Love conquers all:
Time, seasons, and space.

I was but a child
And reality set me straight
I know this bitter truth:
Love can dissipate.

All that had mattered,
Life stripped away.
Freedom and joy,
All replaced with pain.

Finally I felt numb;
I had nothing left,
I had no one to lean on.
I gladly welcomed death.

There was nothing left to love;
There was nothing left to hold.
I walked around lifeless;
I was completely alone.

But at this moment I'm grateful,
At this moment, I'll smile.
Cause after all I've lost,
I can say you're mine.

I never thought I'd be happy
At such a tragic news.
But how great it is
To have something to lose.
