Our Last Beautiful Thing

Jagged words direct at me
deny this heart a chance to beat
compassion dead like life in your eyes
why view the mirror when the reflection lies
emotions tear, views disagree
for our victim here is all I plea
don't forget our last beautiful thing
distracted views far from level sight
when blame comes time stretch your denial
refuse the weight at any cost
concerning what's between us all is lost
to be understood is to understand
to love is as to be loved
to sever the burning hate from our hand
love of the son, love of the son
treasure our last beautiful thing.
