Awakening to Hope
<p>In the embrace of night, I sit alone on the balcony, drifting into deep slumber,<br />
Pierced by bone-chilling cold, awakened by the dawn, my solitude broken asunder.<br />
Food grows cold, tears scorching hot, bitter laughter accompanies sips of green tea,<br />
The torment of yesteryears, a heartache that twists and wrings within me.</p>
<p>Finally, the sky gradually brightens, regrets dissipating in the air,<br />
Free to follow my heart’s desires, no more madness, no more tears to bear.<br />
There must be someone, a new and beautiful chapter to unfold,<br />
Only the heavens know who can make my heart beat, passionate and bold.</p>
<p>Even if love, once again, causes me to fall, scars shall become my pride,<br />
Who can make me embrace, who can make my heart once more wildly ride.<br />
Even if tomorrow, cities crumble into dust and decay,<br />
I’m willing to love until the final moment, casting away movie tickets and memories, letting pain fade away.<br />
Changing bed sheets, trimming hair with a lightness in my stride,<br />
Diminishing hatred, cleansing tears, freeing worries that reside.</p>
