The Saddest Words

The saddest words I can ever say,

Are that I had a son, but he passed away,

No one, however aware,

Can imagine the pain that I now bear.

Why would this be assigned,

To me in this lifetime?

How could I ever choose to part,

With the treasure of my heart?

There is nothing that will ever fix,

A world that's been blown to bits,

One day all you thought to be true,

No longer applies to you.

A wake up call,

That takes your all,

And leaves you screaming,

Searching for meaning.

My life is all asunder,

But I don't want to go under,

I'm grasping for the lifeline,

To make it through this time.

Shall I sink or shall I swim,

I don't know where to begin,

Sometimes I'd like to float away,

Not having to struggle another day.

Now my inside is coming out,

Helping to remove fear and doubt,

So I take another stroke,

Gradually moving toward the hope.

That in time the seas will calm,

And I will find the balm,

Because everything that I need,

Is really right inside of me.
