The pain had become so real, my life had become the agony
That creeps into lovers hearts and poisons the beauty within.
The crystals of desolation cascaded from my eyes,
It was as if, by dying, they took a part of my being with them.
There is nothing worse than knowing that you’re the sole survivor,
Leaving the forever empty house that awakens desperation.
That misery that grips your soul like a steel fist,
The reminder of the platinum days that stretch far behind you.
The moment you came I knew that I could reach out -
Prevent myself from being swallowed by the remnants of yesterday.
You broke through all my barriers like shattering glass,
Sprinkling a thousand pieces of sorrow into the dust.
Then day by day I realised that I clung only to you,
My life had reached a turning point and I saw finally that I
Was falling in love with my once arch-enemy -
The dragon looks so much prettier when it has rescued you.
And now my dreams have turned to gold all because of you,
My life is clearer than it has ever been.
Who could have known that something so terrible
Could possibly end in such unimaginable beauty?
