Bittersweet

(Each heart knows its own bitterness and no one else can share its joy. - Proverbs 14:10, NIV) Understand me, you cannot change me. Step down on me, you cannot crush me. Breach the distance of a broken bridge, Swim the abyss of eternal tragedy. Things change but this remains the same, That one thing that kills my pain. Happiness is fleeting, but this faces the fire. When dandelions cry, their beauty is more profound. A field of such creations make the river of life That gives birth to the next generation. Walk the trial, but know yourself is owned. Choose this day whom you will serve. To whom do you pledge your soul? To what do you pledge your soul? Trial of tears for the whole human race. To live is to die, with everything in between. The jade king promises what we want to ease the pains of a hard life. But money can only buy so much before you die. Walk the trial, but know yourself is owned. Choose this day whom you will serve. To whom do you pledge your soul? To what do you pledge your soul? The wings will spread tonight as Mother Earth sings A dirge of sad goodbyes to one of like profession. Smell of death thick upon the air, An ignorant child, a smile his eternal weapon. Ye walls who cry for this beloved angel's passing... Pity me now, give me compassion. Prepare my mind, prepare my mind... Prepare my mind to look upon Death's wagon. I knew it all along, pretended not to see. Maybe tomorrow her pain will leave, and she can turn her head to look at me. Maybe tomorrow her strength will return, and she can teach me all that I need to learn. Though the days go by with still no arrival, I feel her breath upon me, Her wings enfolding her child.
