One Year

It has been one year.

And somehow.

My laughter is louder now.

The autumn

Falling leaves

Falling tears

I felt colder

Than ever before

The winter

The ice

My heart

The darkness

Consumed me

The spring

The blossoms were poison

And the rain seemed like

It would never end

The summer

So many times I was tested

But I prevailed.

And I know now why

And I know

I will be cold no more.

For all the broken souls

This for you

Look backwards onto the white butterflies

Freedom

The broken rose

The cherished flowers

Will never leave your heart.

Look now upon your own beauty

Which someone will realise

And your glass half empty

Will be full at last

It has been one year

Since the sorrows of silence

And the beginning of the new

The empty CD cases

I need no longer

As I have my own song

We grow stronger for tomorrow

Though we can't stop the rain

We will win over our sorrows

And we live to hope again
