If I could, I would give you my sweet pieces of yesterday

Time was slow enough to listen to your heart

 

If I knew how, I would cover you with steel so you would not feel

The pain of truth as it tore your skin away

 

If it was in my power, I would not let you know how hard it is to lose a fight

When with great effort you could win

 

But then you would not know the beauty of life,

It’s in the losing, the pain, the hurt and the shame

That we understand that life is not a game.
