End of the Rainbow

Thousand thoughts come from one word
The hurt the pain it feels so raw
Sun will set when terror begins 
Not knowing when sunrise will sing

Wood will burn the blackness to grow
Stirring the mind that’s trodden down
Coldness scrapes to get through these times
My life held in not knowing the crime 

Broken butterfly was once white and pure 
Watching and waiting a lifetime to appear
Killing inside the love not to know
Surrender those wings and find how to glow 

Gold and silver held in my hands 
treasure that was given no place in my heart
Hardest of times that were learned 
End of the rainbow was a hug I so yearned
