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.
