Start Again

The end is the beginning

Where the book closes

Another word is being written

And when you feel like the dust

Has been bitten

And the road falls off the edge

There is always a way

To take a step back

And turn around

The final sound

Is the last exhale

Of life's breath

But the beating

Of a broken heart

Is simply a finish line

That will become a new start

And all the pain

Will be worth a medal one day

With a shiny engraving that reads

"I did not give up"

Even when that last second

Has passed

There is one more moment

To leave it all in the past

And one day

I hope to leave you there

And live a new way

Without thinking about you.
