Identity lost, an incalculable cost

Though you’re phased

You’re unscathed

Now I know what we’ve gained

There’s no need to explain it again

I know

On the bed we chose, in your Sunday clothes

Worn out

I can sense the weight at the close of each day

But we cope somehow

Your sacrifice

Your strength

The last shot at the net

Before I try to forget

The sunlight on the corner

A page turning over

A placeholder

The last shot at the net

Before I try to forget

Don’t hold me like a stranger

A placeholder

The dark is a cloak as I make my approach

It’s a place I know

And the mask, it protects

From the numerous questions we face

Let it go

On the bed we chose, in your Sunday clothes

Worn out

I can sense the weight at the close of each day

But we cope somehow

Your sacrifice

Your strength

The last shot at the net

Before I try to forget

The sunlight on the corner

A page turning over
