Lyrics

To my dearest love and pain // My life, my death // I write so helplessly bereft // To confess // What your love has left of me // For you see

A woman is a daughter or a wife // And life in between // Is naked and freezing in the ocean // A portless stretch of barrenness as far as you can see // Where every breath is cherished // And a struggle as you flounder in the sea // I thought that you loved me // You brought me // Beyond the walls of loneliness // The numbness that had filled my years // You let me taste of my dreams // And put a child inside of me

Oh my love // He was so beautiful // And in the briefest moments that I held him // I wanted so much for you to hold me // And sooth us both to sleep

My son // You are all I could have wished for

You'll grow to be strong // But now I know I was wrong

You'll grow to know how // But can't forget how

Love you are // Loved I was

That you stole my heart // When you stole my heart

And I miss  // Do you miss me too?
