About a Loss

A loss is a loss, it\'s a loss
Sometimes from those afar and even those who are near
It\'s a loss
Thrusting us out into fear
We\'re left clinging to the feelings and memories once held so dear

A loss is a loss, it\'s a loss
Either way
As predictable as the weather today
I wore a jacket to stay warm in the winter, but it was eighty degrees
So tomorrow I\'ll leave it behind, but it\'s thirty, I am left to freeze

A loss is a loss, it\'s a loss
No matter how it\'s phrased
A glass half full or half empty are just two of the ways
When it\'s half it\'s just that, a whole that is split
Left with more room to put into it

A loss is a loss, it\'s a loss
Yet we keep keep ticking on
Life is funny in that way, despite all the pain
We\'re imprisoned by expectations, holding them too high
Leaving us let down, fooled with no gain

A loss is a loss, it\'s a loss
But they say
Time heals everything, I think it\'s just the change
Because time keeps moving and does not stand still
We are forced to do it too, call it healing, if you will

A loss is a loss, it\'s a loss
Be that it may
It\'s facts are unbiased and possess a reality hard to see
The one who has lost, is at a loss
And left with the loss, is me
