unkind

you know it's hard
to fight this battle alone
my fair maiden's kirchief on my brow
only counsel's a phone

and everyday another piece of my soul slips away

the sacrifice 
it is unkind
the sacrifice
of yours for mine

life's sweet mystery
won't be revealed so easily
inside i know i hold the key
but i fear there's not much left of me
