One Must First Lose
The loneliness of silence
Envelopes me again
I try to relax
As my heart settles in
I wonder what happened
To my wonderful friend
Who always stayed with me
Until the night was to end
It seems the house shook
As he walked across the floor
I couldn’t quite catch him
As he walked through the door
A discussion turned ugly
As we said things we regret
At one moments such notice
My heart began to fret
Some things can go sour
Without knowing just why
And I pleaded to the heavens
As I looked to the sky
This man I still love him
Without a moment of shame
And he is still angry
With my being to blame
When will I learn to keep quiet
When will enough be enough
Sometimes I just don't get it
And the lesson seems rough
One moment of anger
One moment of fear
And I remember my life
Before I shed a tear
This man who so loved me
Mad me happy with glee
Will forever be gone from my life
So why can't I see
That sometimes to win
One must first lose
To stop opening the mouth in anger
For the life you so choose?
