I feel as if I am one of the truly lost
since I don't know the price or even the ulterior cost.
I lose in every game I play in life
and it seems I'm doomed never to have a wife.
I deal with my everyday misery and pain
and hide all my feelings in the sane.
I drive my everyday pace
looking fate right in the face.
I deal with all my loss
since I still don't know the cost.
I run around and ask myself why
do I have to live this ongoing lie?
A lie on myself a lie on humanity.
A lie on all of us who can't really see.
Love is all around
just waiting to be found.
It's something we all need.
It's not something driven by greed.
It's a wholesome life and way to be.
It's a way to open up and really see.
A way to have a family.
A way to fill your life with glee.
A romp in the park or a picnic on the beach.
All the things Daddies and Mommies have to teach.
All the lessons to be learned.
All the love you've ever earned.
All the time well spent
and off to college they get sent.
Off to a life away from you.
Away from all they ever knew.
A new day comes when they return
and you find that it's not what they learn.
It's how they use it towards life and humanity
not just up and starting a family.
