If he had died

\nIf he had died then I’d be free to grieve
\nAnd give my heart to all those who remain
\nBut what he’s done is so hard to believe<\/p>\n
Now I can see that I was too naive
\nToo swift to trust too eager for the gain
\nIf he had died then I’d be free to grieve<\/p>\n
He lived a lie intending to deceive
\nMy certainties are flowing down the drain
\nBut what he’s done is so hard to believe<\/p>\n
I’ve lost a love that I cannot retrieve
\nBut other loves still forge a stronger chain
\nIf he had died then I’d be free to grieve<\/p>\n
Perhaps in time all evil webs unweave
\nAnd through the mists we see the ugly stain
\nBut what he’s done is so hard to believe<\/p>\n
There’s so much more that I must still achieve
\nAnd those who’re left will help me through the pain
\nIf he had died then I’d be free to grieve
\nBut what he’s done is so hard to believe<\/p>\n

\nDedicated to my four fantastic kids, my wife, my mother, my brothers, sister
\nand friends, each of them sharing the loss to a greater or lesser degree.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
