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!
