Of All
Of all the voices I have known,
Yours may be the sweetest.
Of all the things that I have loved,
For you, my love is deepest.
Although this world is harsh and cold
And pulling us apart
Please remember darling
that you always have my heart.
Of all the places I have been,
This may be the worst.
Of all the things that I have done,
I think I’ve been coerced.
And even as they ridicule
Like councils made of kings
I don’t want to be the puppet
they have on their strings.
Of all the times that I was sad,
I think this time I know.
Of all the times I’ve wished to die,
I feel I have a home.
And even if I don’t come back,
I wanted you to know,
That if you’re left without me,
That you’ll still have a home.
Maybe I should open up,
And let the sunlight in.
But I don’t want to leave my bed.
You know how sad I’ve been.
You tell me I should open up
A window or two,
Now the window’s open.
I hope you know I loved you.
