To have lived and not loved
At natures gesture of losing
To have been founded unruly
In that what you're choosing.
Those sweet and lonely places
Where solace and sobriety hurt
And ghosts with their footsteps
As paupers lay dead in the dirt.
To have been mistaken by pain
Tries to have missed the chance
And to have been treated unfairly
If only love fell for another glance.
To have sunshine kiss the light
And flowers high are knee-deep
Amongst sparkling stars at night
And for all the memories to weep.
To sit here to let live and let go
Where honesty had finally lost
In believing in things not to know
As pride takes over from its loss.
When ignorance becomes bliss
And to have loved with its grace
Trust in the answer for the kiss
And love was put back in its place.
To have taken a chance of living
Where life took hold of the game
And, still, there is another question
In which everyone here is to blame.
Never to have seen paradise rise
Where men of old die all the time
Where children grow with the wise
And when intelligence was primed.
To have lost and to have never won
Beaten by the rules meant it to win
A boy cries praying for his dead mum
Where those bullets created the sin.
And at last, the end is nearly here
Where the hope of life fades away
And at last, they drown away a tear
When life lives and it's here to stay.
