loss (Free verse) by Freethinker1602
This isn't a country song It's a ballad to those who have lost Lost sons and daughters innocent babes Lost soul mates, that burning in your heart Lost parents, that guided you through life I'm not singin' about misplacing them, I am singing about them being gone and you are forever changed loss hurts loss breaks, loss takes away still you stand here, shaken by life Confused, hurt, angred, saddend, devastated Loss chips away and takes away pieces of who you are When there is so much loss, there is nothing left Ever had to make a tough decision One that ripped your soul in two Ever watched your innocent child Die slowly from disease, suffering Did they go over sees to make a better world and not come back? loss hurts loss breaks, loss takes away still you stand here, shaken by life Confused, hurt, angred, saddend, devastated Loss chips away and takes away pieces of who you are When there is so much loss, there is nothing left Ever loved so hard your heart hurt Did you lose your partner, your team mate, your lover Dd they die suddenly or did you have to watch them go Do you see them die in your dreams every night Even if it was just a split up, losing the one you love Seems to be a cruel joke of life loss hurts loss breaks, loss takes away still you stand here, shaken by life Confused, hurt, angred, saddend, devastated Loss chips away and takes away pieces of who you are When there is so much loss, there is nothing left Has your mom or dad died the ones that lead you through life made you who you are Did you watch them go, Or were they suddenly stolen loss hurts loss breaks, loss takes away still you stand here, shaken by life Confused, hurt, angred, saddend, devastated Loss chips away and takes away pieces of who you are When there is so much loss, there is nothing left through all this loss, you lose yourself slip into insanity, eaten alive, devastated In the mornings you wake up it's too much to take in you can't open your eyes, can't get out of bed Then from all this pain and losing who you were you create an act of violence and take one more life from the world everything is gone and black and you hurt no more
