What would you say, if what you always wanted
Was taken?
What would you do, if the very foundations of what you
believed
Were shaken?
What would you feel, if the one you hold dear,
If the one you know has no peer,
Would some day back away from you,
Suddenly harboring towards you fear?

How would you react, when you reach forward,
Intending to touch, to hug, to hold,
But then suddenly, you feel them tense, shrink away,
Repulsed, or fearful; your very nightmare, multiplied
tenfold.

Have you ever made a terrible mistake?
The kind that you want right away to reverse?
A slip without notice, acting before thinking,
Losing that which you cannot afford to lose.

Have you ever lost in a battle so dear
That you would have preferred to die instead?
Have you ever experienced the utter anguish, the ultimate
sorrow?
A pain so intense, it claws at your soul, splitting your
head.

An emotional ordeal not compared to any other, is the pain
of loss.
The loss of family, of life-long friends, of loved ones.
What cost.
Now imagine the guilt, the self-directed wrath,
If you believe, that you caused their death...
