We are working in a sadder place
Brave to carry and bear the toll
Living is harder, cast is our face
In shadow, as hollow as a doll
Numbness is the norm, a tourniquet
Loosened proved the wound was deep
A thousand thousand smiles borne away
A handful of memories left to keep
They were lost, and we so nearly too
A reunion of great, terrible weight
At the next let there still be you
And not the grief from being too late.
