Heaven's Greatest Gain

What should be heaven's greatest gain
Is your greatest loss
The loss of love, the warm smile,
The gentle touch of Her.
Time didn't stop for Her ascent (to heaven)
(the world) should've wept with you (should've)
Cried tears heavy to beat into recognition the fact a living angel had gone back home,
Like your loss is beating at you, (should've)
Cried tears plenty to flood rivers to overflowing
Like the pain is overflowing from your Heart
And your mind
Or didn't they know?
The pressure the recognition, the knowledge
Feels all too much to take in, and
You're supposed to go on
How can a butterfly be free with no wings?
How can they ask you to live with a part of your Heart gone?
The transition from loving, to mourning, to celebrating the life
(of Her) is...
Words can't really express your struggle.
How can you capture such hurt?
Where can you expel your Heart,
Pour out all,
Drain,
Empty yourself of this feeling?
Where?
And to who?
They say time heals all,
Sure hope it does,
Hope you're healing and living stronger than yesterday
Really hoping that you're coping, that you're dealing, that you're getting through
This, this...
Her ascent to heaven
The loss of love, warm smile, gentle touch
Of Her
