A New Beginning

The sun shines through my window Like a bittersweet memory It's warmth hits me like a fatal blow It brings back you and me But I am starting out anew This sunshine shall mean more Than what we had, all we knew It shall warm my inner core My friends, they tell me, "Burn them!" All those poems you wrote just for me But like this sun, I treasure them For they don't chain me, I am free The love I felt for you It seemed like my reason to live You know, deep down, mine was true But now, your act, I forgive Off I go, into the great unkown To the written word, escapes I With experience and tests, I've grown To see the truth and the lie I hope, dark knight, you see your worth credit to yourself, not much you didgive But when you wrote the poem Birth I saw, you had more than life to live Let no one tell you, not even yourself That you all you're good for is bumming Don't leave your potential up on the shelf Please start anew, so you can have my new beginning
