We’ve all heard it said
Nothing in this life for free
At least nothing of any value
Never given, it must be earned
Infatuation comes easy
But real love requires a toll
So I will swallow my anger
And let loose of my pride
I will live with my quiet rage
Walking this life I never asked for
A life stained with imperfections
And filled with promises broken
But this is the price I pay
And I give thanks for it every day
A reality short of my dreams
But the reality I want most
It’s true that grief will fade,
And anger will grow weary
But that’s of little solace
To a world turned upside down
So do not take my sacrifice lightly,
It is constant and it is real
I wish to be nowhere but here
And with no one but you
But gift me moments when I need them
For I must tame the ghosts in my head
If I am to pay the toll required of us
But gift me my moments when I need them
For I must tame the ghosts in my head
If I am to pay the toll required of us
