The cost of loving

At first there is a gaping wound of loss
But our blood clots and seals the wound  up tight
Any movement brings a painful cost

After time and months of pain have passed
The scab has formed ,our body does what’s right
At first there was a gaping wound of loss

Yet if we’re struck, the wound reopens fast
We must  be careful not to enter fights
Any movement brings a painful cost

Easing is a gradual,lonely task
And even then the pain can take a bite
In where was a gaping wound of loss

Every death  creates another ghost
But not an evil angel of the night.
Any movement brings a painful cost.

Let me see your face in dreams tonight
I can’t live without your kindly light
At first there was the sacred wound of loss
Love dies not but carries its own cost
