New Beginnings
Now once again this pain so raw,
End so abrupt, the parting so sore,
Wanting but failing to force open the door.
Breathing is laboured, gone is my healh
Each part of me stolen forever by stealth.
Grimacing with pleasure, that gargoyle face,
Inventing the need my past to disgrace,
Never revealing its purpose, nor why,
Naked the flame of hope left to die .
It’s hard to believe that I still stand,
Not brave, not strong but surely damned.
Gave it my all, till it all fell apart
Still I survive, so again I shall start.
