In This Life

 I was once a simple fool

Fleeting and retreating 

From the truth 

With no thought of what to do 

Dumb and so curious 

For the truth

It’s not here

We aren’t now

We are atoms still colliding

But it’s near 

So just how 

Do we always intertwine 

In this life 

May it be better

Or worse than the rest 

I learned love

I learned loss

I experienced

Betrayal and insanity

But I’m not done

I’m not done yet. 

Back then I was so naive 

Chasing and worshiping 

A whole lie 

This lover came to deceive. 

Fooling and misleading 

For a lie 

It’s not us

But we’re here

We are souls still intertwining 

What could be

No one knows

Yet here we are still just trying 

In this life 

May it be better

Or worse than the rest 

I learned love

I learned loss

I experienced

Betrayal and insanity

But I’m not done

I’m not done yet. 

You don’t know

You foolish boy

Define love and acceptance 

You haven’t a clue

Do you 

Do you know

What this is

It’s off script and just unexplained 

Is it love

No one knows

A story that begs to be told 

In this life 

May it be better

Or worse than the rest 

I learned love

I learned loss

I experienced

Betrayal and insanity

But I’m not done

I’m not done yet.
