When every line you write
Laughs at you
On your face every word
Mocks at you
When all the fantasies
Stand up to you
When loss
Like death visits you
When happiness is the bird
Flown out of your hand
Is this a dilemma
Of faith strong
Or weak
Or is it walking on the sword
Sharper than a knife
Thinner than a hair
Is this life
