This may hurt, this may bring pain,
This may be the last, and all that will remain.
What started as a blissful light,
Bringing with it, all hope and full of might.
Enticing with anticipation and brimming with expectations;
Whispering a dream, a promise of new heights.
Coming too close, it burned too bright;
Scalding you and all in its sight.
Consequently reaching a tragic end;
Falling devastatingly, with few ways to mend.
I wish, I wish, I wish.
I hope, I hope, I hope.
That that day will soon come,
When it all starts to make sense.
When you finally find the secret code,
Or when you uncover that one good quote.
Conveying a lesson, unique, only its own kind;
A sense of perspective, a pair of lens you were meant to find.
Something you carry as life moves on;
A hymn or a note that you will always turn on.
To remember the good, the bad, and what laid in between.
A reminder that a heart breaks only once,
And that one is all you need.
