the stuggles of love and death

Chris Chaput                struggles of love and death
1996



Life and love and burning pain,
A needle in your vein,
Living, loving, scarring wound,
Cut your wrist again.
The ones you love,
will not love back,
lifes struggles all for naught.

Images tearing through my mind,
of fiery salvation,
The evil master calling me,
a murderous invitation.

The pain of ones you loved now lost,
souls eternally gone,
the hurt now rendered,
in your heart,
sees her live again,
memories of the love once shared,
leave you forever scarred.

The love in your heart,
The pain in your eyes,
sorrowful compromise,
the day she died she closed her eyes,
and took her love from your life.
your most joyful times,
remembered in pain,
let her go,
live your life,
learn to love again.
