The Loss of a Friend

from Songs of Autumn and Winter by Knight of Swords

/

lyrics

One never appreciates loneliness
Until one has lost what they had
So I say, upon the loss of an old friend
I don't miss them but I miss what I had with them
I know all things must pass
I know hope only brings pain
I know this was the best we could do
But will you forgive me for
Mourning the loss of a connection
But hating the fake friend
And I can't find happiness
With just a bowl of cheese
Epicurus himself knew that
Friends are a necessity
Yes I know it was a terrible thing we had
But is it more terrible than loneliness?
I need to find something else
To fill up this gap in my being
I need to find someone else
To fill up this gap in my being
For until I do, I will only think
Of what could have been
A fatal illusion--
They'd never treat me any better
No matter how much I'd like to think
We could've had something great
But how do I make new friends?
How do I make a connection?
For without that knowledge
I am lost in a sea of nothingness
