If I Lost...
If I lost...
The limbs, that help me walk to you,
Would you still love me
And carry us through?
If I lost...
The limbs, that I use to embrace your heart
Would you still love me
And keep us from tearing apart?
If I lost...
The voice, that expresses my love
Would you still love me
And everything I'm made of?
If I lost...
My sight, that gazes upon your beauty,
Would you still love me
And guide me with duty?
If I lost...
My mind, and forget who you are
Would you still love me
And remind me you're my star?
If I lost...
The will to live, and to keep going on
Would you lift me up
And bring my heart home?
How dedicated are you my dear
To the love we once knew,
Would you carry us on, being strong
With all you can do?
Would you have an undying love
No matter what the cost,
Keep us going and staying strong
If I lost...?

waiting for the phone to ring, ready to die.
The stomach tosses and turns
Where is this place called Dignity
Where is this place called dignity?
There was a time I thought I knew
with certainty,
yet
