Comes the end

By Lylani

All those plans we had will never find life
Those dreams we dreamt will not draw breath
My garden's left to anothers hand
No daffodils will bloom next spring
This house is not my home

A clean start 
A blank page
The fear of new beginnings 
So much less
Than the hurt of staying put

I thought we had forever
I thought we had love
Tears only from laughter
Not heartache

I fought to save this 
But some mountains are too high to climb
Oceans too vast to swim
Some wrongs can never be made right

I cant go on pretending I can love you past this
You took my kindness and made me lonely
You took my trust and ran to anothers bed
So don't play the victim 
You had what you wanted
But you can't have it all
Your family or solitude
Your wife or your lover

So I'll make new plans
Make a new home 
I'll grow
And I'll love
Sometimes I'll fail
But I will fight all the harder
Because I'm choosing this life
I deserve better than this

    You put the word "from" in twice, in the third stanza. As for real opinions; this was sorrowful, yet beautiful. A bit unsettling, and still comfortable at the same time. You always ballance the different ends of emotion so well in your writes. Thanks for sharing. ^V^
