Everyone Leaves, Everyone Grieves - Your Choice
Have you ever noticed this trend?
It might be a drought or a war,
Blows quick to strike and slow to mend,
And even if I have a friend,
Everyone leaves / everyone grieves. (Your choice!)
Strangers tell me 'You seem so sad, '
Though sometimes I may find a door.
I know expectations are bad,
But frequently I just feel had.
Everyone leaves / everyone grieves. (Your choice!)
.
It might be a dog or a cat,
Acquaintances who are rich-poor,
Married-single, tall-short, slim-fat,
What experience tells me is that
Everyone leaves / everyone grieves. (Your choice!)
It seems so sad every man dies,
Still some seem to dare hope for more:
Though I raise my eyes to the skies
The beauty around me just flies.
Everyone leaves / everyone grieves. (Your choice!)
