Spring

Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust,

The end of all we knew.

The death of all the love and trust,

To be reborn anew.

Spring, rebirth, a phoenix,

All symbols we all have seen.

One step forward, not a trick

Fleeing from where I’ve been.

Who was I? It matters not,

What matters is where I can go.

Sure-footed now, giving all I have got

Can’t let the relief show.

The past is behind, and I don’t dare look back -

Or else I may lose the way

One day at a time, my plan of attack,

I am stronger, or so they say.

What will I face? I’m excited to see

Despite all I’ve left behind.

The worst has now gone, I guarantee

No more will I be blind.

You’re by my side, that’s the difference this time

The reason I’m so sure -

We’re both damaged turned kind

Two halves of something pure.
