A New Beginning

The gloom and grief flowing inside his veins,
Unbearable feelings of angst and woe,
Behold, the one he loves enfolds his foe,
Now tears falling, all his efforts, in vain.

He is nothing - not a wise man nor saint.
"But my only love, why make me this low?
Answer me, please. Just don't give me a 'No,'
Darling, I love you so much, though in pain."

"I love you too. But what else should it be,
For you to think clearly and understand?
We were perfect even if we had few.
But what became of you? Dear, don't you see?
For me, please change. It is up to your hands.
Please start over and live your life anew."
