This truth is like a sea that has no shore, Chaos infinite in heart and mind: That you should once have been, and are no more. To me you are as lovely as before: Your voice still sings of life, your eyes still shine. This truth is like a sea that has no shore, An agony no reason can endure, A knot of pain no passion can unbind: That you should once have been, and are no more. You died because some drunken bastard bore Across the barrier of one thin line. This truth is like a sea that has no shore: That I cannot your battered face restore; That all my love for you cannot turn time; That you should once have been, and are no more. We are all on a death march, numb and raw, Driven on as loved ones fall behind. This truth is like a sea that has no shore: That you should once have been, and are no more.
