without love.

such a great song.

All in nature ends in tragedy
and I was the first to finally fade away from my grandfather's memories.
How long 'til the day my memories of him finally fade away?
Dissolving into gray.

Is breathing just the ticking of an unwinding clock?
counting down the time it takes
for you to comprehend the sheer magnitude of
every single precious breath you've ever wasted?

I did everything I could.
I bargained with the universe to take my life instead of hers.
But no amount of money, drugs or tears could keep her here.
What purpose did her suffering serve?

Is breathing just the ticking of an unwinding clock?
counting down the time it takes
for you to comprehend the sheer magnitude of
every single precious breath you've ever wasted?

So much misery.
So much indifference to so much suffering
we can become tempted by appeals to hatred.
This world ain't nothing more than what we make of it.

Revenge ain't no solution
to the inevitable pain
every single one of us must face in losing
the kindred spirits in our lives.
Lives so brief, so disappointing, so confusing.

As Cronie slipped away I held her in my arms,
reduced to "Please don't leave me. What will I do?"
But this cosmic sadness is just here to remind you
that without Love, breathing is just the ticking of...
