a lost ambition
a pain so deep
time never truly heals
scars will form
and forever remind
walls are built
ever higher
daring to tear them down
an impossible task
so much beauty
misabused by fools
unknowing of
a permanent damage
unfair disadvantages lie
to those farther down the road
wanting only to love
but never given the chance
robbed of that opportunity
so deserved, but incapable
nothing else is desired
nor should it be
seeking only good
apart from the past
how though to prove
this time will be different?
such a large task
ambitious really
to think one can tear down
walls so long in place
after failure upon failure
the question is faced:
to persevere
or to walk?
shall one show love
in the darkest of times
prove a light
still exists
or is it enough
pain overwhelms
forcing a retreat
and accepting failure
the latter is decided
the less noble
head hung low
an empty handed quest
a return to nothingness
a lonely position
seeking only love
but receiving nothing in return
wanting to blame such fools
for ruining a beautiful opportunity
for creating such destruction
with no consequence to them at all
anger arises
amidst a flood of emotions
no one fully occupies
the consciousness
an irony takes place
in seeking to show love
oneself becomes injured
a heartbreak leaves a deep wound
the adventurer becomes
the recluse
their own wounds scar
their own walls rise
a vicious cycle
needing to be broke
hear me now, Hope! Love!
come light,
come
