Beautiful Agony I

I: Something that changed everything Something that changed everything And yet in the end really nothing Something so beautiful so hopeful That turned so painful so doleful The brain that failed to see the light The heart that continued to fight Both suddenly so powerful so strong The harmony gone, they didn't get along Everything looked radiant and bright Overlooking the troubles in sight The green grass turned brown so soon The promising buds failed to bloom Something so unconditional so pure Obtusely reversed into things unsure Pieces shattered, dots misconnected The sync restored, both stand corrected II: The sync restored... The sync restored, the balance harmonious Both trying to avoid the ominous Focus not on decay but blooming trees The heart and the brain agrees But the weather's not on my side Conflicting thoughts in the mind collide The brain sees the wither and the peat The heart yearns to skip a beat The sweet memories are all that remain The heart cannot get what it wants to attain The brain wants to say it was right all along But instead tells it to see hope and be strong Leaves will fall, new ones will grow Happiness in surroundings some day will show Things may never be like before But they will be different for sure! III: Things will be different... Things will be different, or so I need to hope Pick myself up, and try not to mope Taking small steps in the right direction But with the memories and the same affection Bigger things will break me, or so they say Life's much too short for everlasting grief and dismay The brain knows it all and agrees as well But can't console the heart, no words to tell Even being distracted, the mind struggles to cope Fails to see the other side, any glimmer of hope But lingering on never did anyone any good Moving on, as they tell me I should Want to keep the happiness, the feelings alive The things that will eventually help me survive Yes, there are other things, other people in life too But nothing that will bring that something back for you!
