It Was All Taken Away

Betrayed and abandoned
He closed the doors on life
Lonely days until the final rest
Sorrow's burden
A hesitant smile
A graven image of what was lost

I never wanted you to hurt, nor suffer so
Can I abandon the place by your side?
I never wanted you to hurt, nor suffer so
Can we find meaning, and reconcile?

To the deepest pits of grief
It seems we are destined
To overcome and fall again
Absent reward
Fine winter days
Drenched in sun
The beauty stained by loss

We could only watch
As you were stripped of all your worth
Every promise made
Time can betray
