The Process

It isn't strong, It isn't clever It won't guide you to fairer weather Won't lead you to clearer water Or help you better raise our daughter See this persona's just a new shoe Though it may fit, doesn't mean it suits you And I remember the songs that formed you Brought to tears but never tamed you. For you were wild beneath your weakness And your smile lit up the sky Deceived my spirit with your sweetness Made you all my reasons why Without you life's a little colder But like the first leap into a lake Sometimes the prize for being bolder Comes as it takes our breath away It isn’t wrong, it is forever Won’t be long before it’s severed Wasn’t god that put asunder Was just a lie I laboured under It’s true my heart’s a little harder But this new grit just takes me farther Scales the heights of my endeavour And leads me to my next adventure.
