Beautiful Things End (Poem)


Beautiful things end


I have always believed

That all things last

That they go on against all odds

They flourish and bloom

But I grew up to find out they end as well

I longed for a beginning, afraid of it’s end

And so. I damned it all to hell

What’s the point of starting to have it all end?

That universal punishment that nothing lasts forever

Had myself holding back, for what leaves goes with a piece of you.

That vacant space reminds you of what can’t be taken back

But I reached a place to see

What truly takes that place

My eyes to finally see, it was never empty

I was just broken, too broken to see I was a new person

Acknowledging my gain meant to accept what was forever gone

But then new things grew unnoticed and unwanted

That treasure called growth got buried

And now I find myself searching

Looking for what I should have called mine

Digging all over the place and pleading within that isn’t lost

That it waited for me to turn around

To realize that what I wanted has been with me all along
