The wound you have given me
The wound you have given me
is a wound that will never heal.
I have been cursed with blindness.
I can't see, but I can feel.
Between the many scars in my heart
you ruthlessly pushed in your knife.
The blood flows hot, drenching the ground.
It will flow for the rest of my life.
The wound you have given me
will never cease to pain.
You are not even aware of it.
Twas not made for no gain.
Without even knowing it
you pushed me towards the edge of death.
And still the days are many til
I draw that final breath.
So how can all this pain
be so utterly sweet?
I know very well I've lost something big,
but can I really call it a defeat?
The wound you have given me
was not made by forcing me to leave.
No, the wound you have given me
's made by allowing me to believe.
