Peace

One final pull
One tug, one tear

That leaves but a hole
Where once there was
A pain I could no longer bear

No joy awaits
No celebration

Just a sense of peace
Where once there was
Conflict, sadness and isolation

Time to heal
Time to progress

Towards serenity
Where once there was
No love, no happiness
