Love Like Purgatory

Folder: 
One More Time

As long as we walk, 

we will suffer.

Love tears us apart

every time we take a step

forward or backwards, it's always the same

But we slowly progress, 

feel the heart tear to pieces,

losing limb after limb,

joy after joy.

At its darkest

we will no longer see

any meaning to continue forward,

but we continue nonetheless

because none dare return to

how they were before.

 

Until one day 

on our knees in tears,

we'll look up and see 

a light in the dark,

a gap that one might climb out of.

And as we stand 

leaving that hell behind

we'll see before us

what we had always been searching for

someone who'd ease the suffering,

but yet we would gladly dive into hell for

so that they may never shed a tear.

I got this after truly realizing how long it can take to start learning how to find that one person that you can truly be with. It could take a long time and alot of hardships, but we will all get there in the end :)
