Beautiful Agony II

IV: Nothing will bring it back...

Nothing will bring it back, ever again
So must learn to live with or overcome the pain
A tough decision the brain will have to make
The heart will need to follow for sanity's sake

Leave the gloom in an abstract form
Charge ahead, break the norm
All well thought and said
Difficult to follow the path ahead

Be it dark, steep, winding or treacherous
The storm of fear may seem perilous
The right change is what the mind needs
Something fruitful for all the good deeds

Asking is not what one does anymore
Waiting endlessly makes the heart sore
Leave the future in destiny's hands
But still that something the heart demands


V: That something the heart continues to demand...

That something the heart continues to demand
The brain gets stronger and wants to reprimand
Unfortunately for no one can time rewind
Best to regain peace and sanity of the mind

So focus on the right and not the wrong
Not the things that didn't work, didn't belong
The moments that brought joy and warmed the heart
Snuggling up in the arms was the best part

But the good times make the heart yearn for more
Conveniently overlooking how badly it tore
And even though it keeps beating as it heals
It can't stop feeling the way it feels

So time is exactly what it will get
So the emotions can be rightly set
The brain will be wise and support it for now
And hope for a better tomorrow somehow


VI: A hope for a better tomorrow...

A hope for a better tomorrow I try to keep
Attempting to lock away the emotions in too deep
They're raw, they're real, but I won't let them seep
For this moment in time, they only make me weep

Thought I was strong, better than this
Things were rosy, everything seemed a bliss
The prickly thorns creeped up too soon
Bursting the bubble, crippling the boon

The mind can't help but mindlessly wonder
Why it all happened I often ponder
Life is such, unfathomable, cryptic and intense
More often than not, things just don't make sense

The wise would learn and bravely move on
The rest would wallow, struggle and moan
I don't deny I currently belong to the latter
But give me time, will top the former and be better
